neurotypical

Neurotypical is the opposite of neurodivergent- it means someone who does not have a neuro-developmental disorder such as autism spectrum disorder or ADHD. This word is commonly misused by people on tumblr who are misinformed and believe that it refers to people who dont have a mental illness, rather than people without a neuro-developmental disorder.
