What is an "NT"?

Post Reply New Topic

I've heard it a lot but haven't found the definition yet...

Normal Tourist?
Naughty Tidbit?

my brain isn't up to par.... I should be able to come up with dozens, and with subtle, dry humour.

It stands for NeuroTypical I believe.

NT = neurotypical.

Here is an excellent website that makes fun of NT's.

I am NT married to an aspie and mother of 2 aspies.

When I read this website some things are a bit too familiar and it makes me laugh at some of the things I do.

It stands for neurotypical.

What neurotypical means depends on the context:

1) person who is not on the autism spectrum

2) person who has no significant neuro-psychological conditions defined in the DSM, including "mental illnesses," learning disabilities, etc.

3) The square, boring, stupid, common, and possibly mythical "normal people" that every subculture on the Internet likes to think they're better than.

Not a single thing on that website describes me, except possibly that, although I don't like to do so, I can express myself indirectly when speaking with someone who in my past experience usually takes offense to having thoughts expressed at them directly.

I'm not an aspie, I'm just an unusually intelligent introvert who grew up in a culture where direct speech is valued.

I can relate

It ain't New Technology!

I believe this article explains everything
