neurotypical

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, neurotypical has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard (Dec 2025).

The neurodiversity paradigm is a framework for understanding human brain function that considers the diversity within sensory processing, motor abilities, social comfort, cognition, and focus as neurobiological differences. This diversity falls on a spectrum of neurocognitive differences. The neurodiversity movement views autism and other neurodivergences as a natural part of human neurological diversity—not diseases or disorders, just "difference[s]".
