How to Define a Neurotypical Mind

Post Reply New Topic

(This is in no way meant to offend anyone, only to parody. I get tired of people without Autism describing me like I cant speak for myself. So I'm describing them to see if they take the hint.)

What does Neurotypical Mean?

A century ago there were no “Neurotypicals” because there was no diagnosis. However, it is now believed that over 98% of the population is Neurotypical. Neurotypicallity is no longer considered a disease but a Neurologic Dysfunction.

Scientists aren’t sure what causes a person to stay Neurotypical, whether it is Genetic, Environmental, or a combination of the two.

Some of the Symptoms include:
An excess of social behaviors
Too much eye contact
A lack of repetitiveness
A disturbing need to communicate
A lack of sensitivity to light and sound
Is disturbingly social

Neurotypicals can be described as High-Functioning (HFNT) or Low Functioning (LFNT). Many of history’s second greatest minds were Neurotypical, though a retroactive diagnosis is speculative at best.

Diagnosis
Due to the extremely high probability of being Neurotypical, Doctors no longer wait to diagnose someone as being Neurotypical. Rather, they are considered Neurotypical until proven otherwise.

Treatment
There is no cure for being Neurotypical (some people believe getting vaccines as a child cure this, but this is no longer regarded as probable). Also, there is no research into the treatment of being Neurotypical.

Prognosis
Just because someone is Neurotypical does not mean they cannot live a rewarding life. However, despite many NT’s living successful lives, some do not. Some need help with their day to day lives because they are unable to function.

If you suspect you might be Neurotypical, don’t be afraid to see a doctor right away. Nowadays there is less social stigma with being Neurotypical as the Neurotypical mind is being better understood by society.

So many people wont include Autistic people in the Autistic Debate. Some say we cant put complex ideas into writing. I have AP English Teachers fawning over my Essay. I can write better than anyone else I know.

We can't generalize. Not all "neurotypicals" are social machines.

Ahahahah! Fun! A pity it's going to make you live yet another episode of ostracism

"NT's often have excellent executive functioning. This 'splinter skill' exists in contrast to their overall dysfunction.

There are 3 presentations of NT:
1. aloof (but only because of feelings of superiority, or shyness)
2. passive (but only when tired, depressed or shy)
3. active, but odd (but only due to being active and odd)"

This might interest you.

Dr Attwood writes what the criteria for Asperger's would look like if it was defined by its strenghts. I don't think its fair or right for people with Asperger's to be constantly told what problems/weaknesses they have, so I don't mind parodies like this. I think it shows how our perceptions of people define who is disabled and who isn't.

Not all neurotypicals are allistic, but all allistic people are neurotypical.

Here! Some examples of neurodiversity not belonging in the Autism Spectrum:

Dyspraxia
Dyslexia
ADHD
Dyscalculia
Tourette Syndrome

and others

So allistic vs. autistic is a synonime *cringe* of neurodiverse.

(I hate the word synonim T_T there is no such thing as two words with exactly the same meaning)

Let's see if I can get it right this time. The majority of NTs are group thinkers and the majority of people on the spectrum are free thinkers. There are a few from each group who might be like the other group.

Nice parody
