  Neurotypical - AspiesForFreedom   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Neurotypical is a term used by some autistic spectrum individuals, and those who study them, to refer to people whose neurological development is normal.
In this context, neurotypicals are described as having symptoms such as a persistant need to form irrational and destructive group heirarchies, an inability to accept solitary activities, persistant lying, an inability to use technology and understand computer logic, and a belief that their neurological structure is the correct one.
Some neurotypicals (including some NT parents of autistic children) agree with autistics who say autism is not a disorder and support parodies like ISNT.

  Understanding Neurotypicality
Neurotypicality is a pervasive developmental condition, probably present since birth, in which the affected person sees the world in a very strange manner.
Neurotypical individuals show difficulty in forming an individual identity, or in thinking outside of the bounds of the accepted norms of their social groups.
Unfortunately, the neurotypical herd mentality results in an excessive rate of birth of offspring that are genetically predisposed to be neurotypical, and as such the incidence of neurotypicality remains frighteningly high.

 Aspie in a IT perspective
Now neurotypicals had to be re-educated again and make them stop thinking in sequences and instead think in events.
This work still continues, and many neurotypicals still are stubborn and use polling instead of events, if given this alternative.
Neurotypicals favorite planning method is to repeatedly read the state of all variables that might change (polling) and of time-planned actions.

 Asperger's Writings: RESTORATION
It is both amusing and sad that neurotypical society is trying to “cure” individuals with Asperger's/Autism—in essence, to make them neurotypical—and is at the same time paying vast sums of money to learn how to be like them in at least one way.
It is vital that we on the Spectrum are able to function optimally--or at least, as effectively as possible--in mainstream neurotypical society, for that is indeed the society in which we live.
Neurotypicals are not the only ones who occasionally need to retreat from the stresses of daily life and “let their hair down” in order to feel restored.

 Autism - The Doctors Lounge(TM)
By age 3, neurotypical children have passed predictable milestones on the path to learning language; one of the earliest is babbling.
Still, inability to speak no more means that autistics are unintelligent or unaware than it does in a neurotypical with his or her mouth taped shut.
As autistic people grow up, the accumulation of mistreatment, constant rejection from neurotypicals assuming that differences are something to "cure", and constantly being misunderstood by neurotypicals refusing to help bridge the neurological gap logically causes them to become anxious or depressed.

 NT, Or Not NT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
The chief problem with the word "neurotypical" is that it abjectly concedes what ought to be a huge point of contention—that there is such a thing as a typical human brain.
This brings me back to what else is wrong with the word "neurotypical." Not only does it assume the existence of a typical brain, it also fails to challenge the authority of the psychologists to define a typical brain in any way they wish.
Because "neurotypical" is generally used to refer to a person who has no psychological diagnoses, it necessarily accepts as legitimate the psychologists' use of diagnostic classifications as tools of social segregation.

 Asperger: A culture, as opposed to a disability
Another indication of neurotypical English being difficult for Asperger people is that some words and phrases are often not used to match their meanings.
In addition, if a neurotypical woman says that her husband "brings home the bacon", she means that he earns enough money to buy food for the whole family; she doesn't mean that her husband buys bacon.
As well, the neurotypical word "camp" may refer to a summer program that is entirely held in a city.

 Jon Udell: Neurotypical brains have better things to do
Geeks need to remember that non-geeks don't want to spend time learning html, googling for instructions on tweaking software, solving systems problems, and so on.

 Neurotypical syndrome - Uncyclopedia
Though it seems that most persons with NT would prefer to be referred to as neurotypicals, NTs or even normals, nobody cares about their opinions; after all, they are seriously ill, and clearly do not know what is best for them.
Persons with Neurotypical Syndrome, commonly and to a significant degree, display a variety of symptoms of their debilitating condition.
The bad news is that there are so many people with Neurotypical syndrome that they have come to take over every area of government and medicine, and may even resort to genetic testing to ensure that only sick people like themselves can exist in the world.

 Autism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Typical characteristics include problems with social relationships and emotional communication, in addition to patterns of behaviour and interests that are less common in neurotypicals, and also involves a nontypical approach to sensory integration.
With neurotypicals often refusing to learn the autistic body language, and with autistic natural language not tending towards speech, autistic people often are forced to struggle to let others know what they need.
In any case, "choosing" not to be autistic certainly won't magically make appear the two missing brain structures shown to be missing or altered in autism [9] (http://www.unc.edu/~cory/autism-info/orgautsa.html) or make autistics think about people in the same area of the brain that normal people use.

 Autism - AspiesForFreedom   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Just as neurotypicals are not designed to understand autistic body languages, vocal tones, or phraseology, autistics similarly have trouble with such things in neurotypicals.
In particular, autistic language abilities tend to be highly literal; neurotypicals often inappropriately attribute hidden "meaning" to what autistics say or expect the autistic to sense such unstated meaning in their own words.
As autistic people grow up, the accumulation of mistreatment, possible rejection from neurotypicals assuming that differences are something to "cure", and constantly being misunderstood, logically causes some to become anxious or depressed.

 The Autistic Mind   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
In a neurotypical individual, the brain has an amazingly high capacity for intelligence, and it is extremely thirsty for knowledge.
In summary, the brain of a neurotypical person has a high capacity and is constantly absorbing knowledge at a rapid pace.
However; I do not know what it is like to be like neurotypicals, and they don’t know exactly what it is like to be like me. People on the spectrum may have to think and practice differently, but I do not think it is impossible to bridge the gap.

 Why Disability Rights Are Not Enough
In other words, they consider you and all other neurotypicals to be "weird" because of your need for frequent social activity, and they don't want to have to tolerate what they perceive as your bothersome chatter.
Even when such requirements are not overtly stated, the extent to which an applicant's demeanor conforms to expected neurotypical behavior is usually seen as intrinsic to the selection process.
It lacks the circuitry that the neurotypical brain uses to process speech and body language into an instinctive social/behavioral/language gestalt.

Neurotypical syndrome is a neurobiological disorder characterized by preoccupation with social concerns, delusions of superiority, and obsession with conformity.
According to The Institute for the Study of the Neurologically Typical (INST), as many as 9625 out of every 10,000 individuals may be neurotypical.

 Autism Information Library: The Validity of Autistic Opinions
Neurotypicals are rarely made to see themselves as having cognitive or communication impairment for having difficulty thinking outside of language or symbol (as many tend to be), yet autistics with other modes of thinking are made to see ourselves as impaired for "lacking language skills" or "lacking symbolic thought".
Neurotypicals are rarely made to see themselves as having impaired imagination for often putting social games above mechanical games as children, yet autistics are made to see ourselves as impaired in imagination for preferring mechanical things to social things.
Where the real "bias" comes in is where you get an outside view, by a neurotypical with neurotypical values and morals, who seeks to impose those values and morals on an autistic or (as in most cases) on all autistics.

 Understanding Neurotypicality - Asperger's Syndrome - tribe.net
The whole concept of Neurotypicality not only demands recognition across all groups, but I think its very definition demands further exploration.
The theory I'm tossing around these days is that the perception of Neurotypicality is actually the result of the success that so-called Neurotypicals have in forming what appears to be a tight identity club.
I would say there is plenty of diversity among neurotypicals, and that the article, which is both funny and an accurate skewering of a certain NT personality "type," merely skims the surface in its burlesque of neurotypical behavior.

 This Way of Life: Murder of Autistics
A murderer of a neurotypical child rarely has an acceptable justification for a jury - regardless of the murderer's mental state.
Another excuse often used to justify murder of autistics is that the autistic will never have a high quality of life - he'll be confined to an institution, he won't be able to communicate, and he won't even be able to experience the emotions of joy, happiness, and love.

 Survey of Autism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Just as neurotypical people should not take the Autistics Surveys, so too should autistics refrain from taking the Friend/Family Surveys, unless they are taking them in regard to another autistic they know.
Note: They are not intended as a means of diagnosis, but again, are meant to get the perspective of the survey taker who may not be sure where they "fit in".

Family support and guidance, information and advice, should be available to everyone, and I would have hoped already that the courts would assess someone's suitability to have custody of their children on a case by case basis and take account of the child's needs and wishes.
They have allowances made for the fact that they are children (people with AS can tend not to discriminate about age, which is good in some contexts but can potentially result in high demands and expectations of children's reasoning abilities and behaviour).
However, neurotypical people have an innate ability to master social situations and are naturally inclined to think and communicate in neurotypical ways.
