Neurotypical

Neurotypical or NT, an abbreviation of neurologically typical, is a neologism widely used in the autistic community as a label for people who are not on the autism spectrum. In its original usage, it referred to anyone who is not autistic or a 'cousin' with an 'autistic-like' brain;[1] the term was later narrowed to refer to those with strictly typical neurology, that is, without a defined neurological difference. In other words, this refers to anyone who does not have any developmental disabilities such as autism, developmental coordination disorder, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD). The term was later adopted by both the neurodiversity movement and the scientific community. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurotypical
