What is
"neurotypical"?
Neurotypical
syndrome is a neurobiological disorder characterized by preoccupation
with social concerns, delusions of superiority, and obsession with
conformity. Neurotypical individuals often assume that their experience
of the world is either the only one, or the only correct one. NTs
find it difficult to be alone and are often intolerant of seemingly
minor differences in others. When in groups NTs are socially and behaviorally
rigid, and frequently insist on the performance of dysfunctional,
destructive, and even impossible rituals as a way of maintaining group
identity. NTs find it difficult to communicate directly, and have
a much higher incidence of lying as compared to persons on the autistic
spectrum.
What
is the cause?
NT
is believed to be genetic in origin. Autopsies have shown the brain
of the neurotypical to be typically smaller than that of an autistic
individual and to have overdeveloped areas related to social behavior.
How
common is it?
Tragically, as many as 149 out of every 150 individuals might be neurotypical.
Is
there any treatment for NT?
There is no known cure for Neurotypical syndrome,
however, many NTs have learned to compensate for their disabilities
and interact normally with autistic persons.
