:::Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder. I'm using the common language. The thing is that autism is often regarded as a defect, something that afflicts people who would otherwise be normal. The term "neurotypical", which I've clarified in the longer term "neurologically typical", was coined as a way to describe "normal" people. With a name for each, it is more clear that there are two different categories of people. Autism is then treated in a less stigmatizing way. --<b>[[User:Dragonclaws|<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c</font>laws</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Dragonclaws|<font color="#4D56B1">talk</font>]])</sup></b> 21:11, April 30, 2010 (UTC) | :::Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder.

:: Cool, aspies unite! I'd say it's more of alterntive brain setup then anything else. We're better than others in some ways, worse in others. That said, the severity of autsim and aspergers varies quite a bit. [[User talk:Jabberwockxeno|Jabberwockxeno]] 15:11, 12 January 2011 (EST) | |||
