:::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) | |||
