Intolerance of differences is the problem, not the fact that most people are neurotypical. That's not going to change.

I think you may be confusing the terms here... I don't mean that people should not be neurotypical, I mean that people should not mistreat people who aren't NT, in the same way that racism isn't about not being from any race and sexism isn't about not having a gender!

Let's make it even simpler. Nobody should mistreat another because of the neurology they were born with.

There...now everybody's covered, and everything is TRULY fair. :D
