Neurotypical. It describes an average person (of the type that does not actually exist, in my opinion) who does not have any abnormal psychological or developmental conditions such as ADD, Asperger's Syndrome, Bipolar Disorder, etc.

Generally here people only mean "non-aspie" when they use the term NT.

That is true, there is no such thing as a "normal" person.

BTW, Welcome Stewart! :D
