But every person not on the autism spectrum are not all NTs. 99% of the population are ALLISTIC, not neurotypical.


ALLISTIC? Is that even a word? If so, please define.

Generally speaking, to survive in NT society you need to be able to understand when your opinions don't need to be voiced and how certain behaviours might be viewed as disruptive and/or anti-social. Not only do you need to understand this, you also need to be able to consistently apply it to your own behaviours.

Why can't you just look it up yourselves? It's pretty obvious.

ALLISTIC = any person not on the autism spectrum.

It's a much more accurate term to use if you want to say "99% of the population", rather than "neurotypical", simply because "typical" means "normal" or "standard", and there are a wide range of mental disabilities/disorders that can make a person outside that category but not be autistic. These often include those born with disorders or disabilities that affects a child's social, intellectual or behavioural development such as learning disabilities, downs syndrome, ADHD, Fragile-X syndrome, etc, but can also include things developed later on in life like schizophrenia or dementia.

I hope you digest your new information.

The very definition of neurotypical right here.


I agree. Ezra knocked it out of the park with this: "It seems to me that the whole point of being neurotypical is not being autistic." Aut = self, by oneself, by itself.

MonaPereth who I respect greatly, once pointed out to me , after reading one of my posts where I shared about my ADD, that I am Allistic and not NT. That was the first time I encountered this term.Very few people I know would be classified as NT's.
I think that it's important to identify disorders that can be alleviated or eased by means of medication, assistance or therapy but generally if a person cares enough and is open minded, then these definitions shouldn't be a divisive factor or a barrier between people.

I am drawn to altruism and honesty, intelligence, courage and humour, that's often enough for me to establish a bond with someone, regardless of whether they are AS, NT or ET I don't really care about categories.
