So I signed back up to Tinder after been off it for a while and I came across a profile and in their about me section they have In a spectrum and I have no idea what it means? 

Can anyone explain please :)

Message them to ask. That's a good conversation opener.

I have history with that person so I don't know about asking them, I just saw it on their profile and was curious to what it meant

“In a spectrum” does not make sense in this context.  Perhaps there has been a translation error?

In England if someone describes themselves as “on the spectrum” it usually means that have either diagnosed or suspected Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). 
 

I’m assuming the person meant “on” not “in”

When someone is on a spectrum it means they are autistic. "In a spectrum" might have been a typo or another way to say on a spectrum. 

In other words, unless you want a life with someone who is putting themselves and protecting their feelings first, steer clear. In practice, being with someone on a spectrum is a life full of frustration. Some people might be able to pull it off, not sure. It also depends where on the spectrum a person is. Many are fully functioning, but in close relationship their partners see the sides of them that are unbearable.

It could mean ASD or Asexual spectrum. If you know him, you would know.

Just ask them.

So I just came across this too and it was next to a sun-like symbol. Looked under my own settings/edit profile, found that symbol = sleeping habits and the choices to choose from are Early Bird, Night Owl, In a spectrum
