What does neuronormative mean?
A neuronormative society means one that favours and is built for neurotypical people. When neurotypical existence is seen as the default, “normal” and “healthy” way of being, it is by design marginalizing neurodivergent people. This is a form of ableism.
The opposite of a neuronormative society is a neuroaffirming one.
Does the term neurodiversity include neurotypical people?
Yes, traditionally the term neurodiversity includes both neurotypical and neurodivergent people, though informally it is often used to only mean the neurodivergent community.
What is the difference between neurotypical and allistic?
Allistic simply means someone who is not Autistic. Since not every neurodivergent person is Autistic, someone can be neurodivergent and allistic. A neurotypical person is allistic by this definition.
