神經學典範

神經典型Neurotypical英文neurologically typical縮寫NT),最初是自閉症社群生造用於指明那些不在自閉症譜系上的人。[1]其後發展為泛指無神經學特異表現的人:換言之,即無自閉症、閱讀障礙發展性協調障礙雙相情感障礙注意力缺陷過動症,或其他類似情況的人。

這個詞已經被「allistic」和「nypical」替代,原本擁有相同涵義。[2] 這個概念後來被神經多樣化(Neurodiversity)和科學團體採用。[3][4][5]

英國自閉症協會(National Autistic Society)建議,雖然可以使用 neuroptypical 一詞,但也指出該詞主要係由自閉症者使用,因此可能不適用於大眾媒體等處。[6]
