One thing that bugs me about the way some people treat ‘neurotypical’ people is you don’t actually know who’s neurotypical or neuroatypical. A lot of people are very private about their mental disorder(s), illness(es), etc.

When you call someone neurotypical or neuroatypical w/o knowing them, you’re doing it based on how they act which adds to the idea that neuroatypical people will act a certain way, and if they don’t, they’re faking it or misguided.

Not to mention, there are a lot of people with illnesses, disorders, etc who have no idea they have them.

Don’t assume someone is neurotypical based off one thing they say or do, that’s No Good.
