NT?

Post Reply New Topic

ok i keep seeing this....so.....whats an NT? is it just people that dont have autism...or...?

To best summarize a NT:A neurotypical is somebody that doesn't have a disability,mental disorder,handicapped, disfigure appearance or mentally changelled.Basically that summarizes most people in our society!

Neurotypical are people who are so-called "normal", though I think it only applies mentally, not physically. We are neurodiverse.
Also, whilst people commonly use NT in terms of people not on the autistic spectrum, it does not mean that people with other mental disorders or differences are NT.
(Sorry if I didn't come across great, it's late)

No. It's usually only used in the context of ASDs.

indeed, the better way would be: "someone that is not diagnosed with any form of mental difference, like autism or ADHD"

Aspies have a superioity complex, so NT is a term they use to collectively group everyone outside of the spectrum so they can beat them with the beatstick more efficiently when they baww about not being understood. Hope this helps.

What? All of us? You'll find that only a minority believe that they are superior to NTs (I am not one of them). You are also implying that not being understood isn't much of an issue and that we are making a big deal out of nothing. True, some may go overboard with it, but many people just want to fit in and not be misinterpreted or discriminated against.

I think of NT as somebody who hasn't got no learning deficits or no developmental delays or anything, and have developed typically as a child and can interact typically. People who are born slightly abnormal, moderately abnormal or severely abnormal are NL. That's what I always thought NT was supposed to be. I've never clarified it as ''Autism or no Autism''. Autism is just one of many disorders.

Sarcasm bro~ Sarcasm~

Agh, I don't normally take the bait! It's not been a good day, forgive me.

Some superiority complexes are bigger than others. I don't think these younguns would think they are better than NT kids if they would stop being picked on. There ARE a large amount of NT teenagers who are nerd/weirdo-phobic, and it makes sense that people with Asperger's would dislike NT's who would make fun of them. Especially high schoolers. Notice that in the adolescent forum, there are a lot of kids speaking out against NT kids and their habits. This becomes less pronounced with age, as both parties mature, and those kids who tormented "weird" kids grow out of that habit, or at least do not express such opinions openly - they find that people are more understanding with age... With exceptions.
