I was having a browse of Aspie Slang Investigator's Digest (AKA Urban Dictionary) when I stumbled across this:
Neurotypical
50 up, 157 down
A blanket term used by people who fall (whether by physician diagnosis or the all to common self diagnosis)* within the autism spectrum to describe the non-autistic. An incredibly hypocritical term considering their pleas to be "treated equally" yet they insist on creating a term to designate all who are different. Irony is apparently lost to the autistic**.
'The Neurotypicals need to acknowledge the obvious superiority of the Autistic!'
* Yeah, when you've been a social outcast for many years you start to question whether you were born normal
** Got that right, buddy -- it's one of the defining symptoms.
Made me laugh.
