Do you like the word neurotypical?

Post Reply New Topic

I am new to this, just found out I am probably an Aspie, but on this subject, I dont like the word, never have liked anything that tried to put rules down on what is normal or not. also something I have always lived by, Y B Normal, when I can be me?

I like the word neurodiversity. Which, in one sense, the word neurotypical fits with, but it also contrasts with it. Like, the term neurotypical recognises that some of us are distinctly different from the average, typical, neurologically. But it also doesn't recognize the neurodiversity of non-aspies.
