NT is neurotypical, which is used both for "not autistic" and "close to the average brain in all ways" on these forums (i.e. someone with ADHD but not any ASD is sometimes considered neurotypical and sometimes not) .

People without a chornic mental condition that makes them outside the norm in behavior.

hence schizophrenics, bipolars and people with personality disorders are not NT's either.
