Humans range across such spectrum that actually match all 3.
We range from being blind to having exceptional eyesight, so we are all on a continuum.
But there are various subsets, such as color or light sensitivity, far/nearsighted, better tracking of motion or text - and these have their own subsets, such as the ability to scan text quickly (or dyslexia), read a room better or see things that require training (such as the details a race driver immediately sees that you wouldn't). Someone with an issue of vision usually finds himself in a cross of these sets, borrowing tools form one to compensate for another
The same can be said for hearing, for height and weight, and for any other physical, psychological or mental property we have.
(I've always felt it odd that "spectrum" usually refers only to Autism.)

It depends where the term is in use, when you get in to more medical like fields then people will use the ASD term to separate it from other spectrum disorders like OCD or different types of schizophrenia.
To be fair, I have a bit different impression from specialists, where ASD as spectrum overlapps with other conditions, like ADHD, OCD, BP and I have a bit of linguistical background to extend and call it spectrum spectrum... also, I'm too lazy for that.
