Neurotypical (or NT) people have neurological development and states that are consistent with what most people would perceive as normal in their ability to process linguistic information and social cues.[1] While originally coined among the autistic community as a label for non-autistic persons,[2] the concept was later adopted by both the neurodiversity movement and the scientific community.[3][4][5] In the United Kingdom, the National Autistic Society recommends the use of the term in its advice to journalists.
