Do you think that sensory processing disorder should be on the autism spectrum? Why or why not? Please explain.

I thought it was already part of autism though someone can have it and not be autistic so if it was truly on the spectrum, then anyone with SPD would be considered autistic.

I know someone with SPD that doesn't any other traits of autism that I know of. So not sure.
