Again, neurotypical is *not* the opposite of autistic. It isn't used that way, it isn't defined that way, and it *certainly* isn't a value judgement.
By way of comparison, why do you use the term "autistic"? Why do you feel the need to slot those people into a category? Why other them?

Furthermore, "allistic" is not the same thing. Neurotypical means neurologically typical, based upon statistical observations. Allistic means "not autistic".

Please explain why *any* single term used to describe a statistical cohort wouldn't need to be altered if the neurological makeup of all of humanity changed *dramatically*. I'm sorry that "typical" offends your sensibilities, but it has absolutely no inherent qualitative aspect to it.

Your understanding of the term is flawed if you think it has much to do with psychology. Neurotype relates to psychology in the same way that height relates to basketball. Height does not guarantee any degree of success, just as being neurotypical does not guarantee a certain set of traits.

I mean, they definitely are. That's like saying nobody is typical height.

It's neurotypical, not neuronormal for that exact reason.

The fastest reduction of poverty and inequality in recorded history was in the USSR under Stalin. All famines ended. 2nd-fastest growing economy in the 20th Century. Universal health care. Doubled life expectancy. Smashed the Nazis. Near-zero unemployment. All this according to US stats.

Half of that was Rogers ads. Half of THAT was that goddamned one with the Asian family dancing. The rest is their valiant attempt to make me hate Keanu.

I was that guy. No longer! Didn't realize it was the Brewers imploding after dominating so hard in the regular season, and not the Dodgers rising above.
