"NT" means "neurotypical", which is someone without any neurological flaws whatsoever. It is commonly used to describe someone who is not on the autistic spectrum, but I don't think that, say, schizophrenics or people with bipolar disorder could be classified as NT either.

It can stand for many things to many people...."Non-Thinking" is my favorite...but only jokingly .....some of my best friends(if I ever had any)might be NT's (theoretically)if they weren't actually my cats(who are aspie to their core).

My friend said 'NT' means 'NewType.' I don't know what he means though.
