If you have met one neurotypical person, you have met one neurotypical person.

#NeurotypicalAwareness

Oh my apologies, the correct terminology is:

If you have met one person with neurotypicalism, you have met one person with neurotypicalism.

#NeurotypicalAwareness

Neurotypicalism does not always equate to extraordinary and we need the world to understand to not always romanticize neurotypicalism. It’s a real diagnosis and can be extremely challenging. Profound neurotypicalism is much more difficult.

#NeurotypicalAwareness

Individuals diagnosed with neurotypicalism present with a highly diverse set of challenges, disabilities, impairments and strengths. No one should have the power to censor language to exclude the observable realities of neurotypicalism.

#NeurotypicalAwareness

Scientists and clinicians must be able to use any scientifically accurate terms necessary to describe the wide range of neurotypical people they study and support, without fear of censure or retribution.

#NeurotypicalAwareness

Neurotypicalism is not being able to explain neurotypicalism? They seem intent on normalizing the term as opposed to explaining to us the challenges they face.

#NeurotypicalAwareness

Preliminary research into electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for neurotypicalism has been encouraging. Thus, further research in this patient population is warranted. Our findings further support previous ECT research in this patient population.

Interviewer: If a parent wanted to try oxytocin for their neurotypical child, they could get it?
A: Yeah, they could. That's why this study was important to do, because it shows it's not really helping. But oxytocin is not a dangerous drug. [cont]

"So sure, it's a waste to give it to neurotypicals if it's not helping, but you're not really hurting them either."
It has been explored as a way to boost social functioning in kids with neurotypicalism. A new large-scale clinical trial found no benefit.

#NeurotypicalAwareness

The study will identify the causes of neurotypicalism, both genetic and environmental, and with a view to identify subgroups who might benefit from different kinds of support. We are anti-eugenics.
#NeurotypicalAwareness

We will investigate the biological correlates of neurotypicalism: which tissues, gene-sets, cell types, and developmental periods are enriched for common genetic risk for neurotypicalism. [cont]

#NeurotypicalAwareness

We will further investigate heritability across subtypes, sex-specific effects, and effects of social and non-social domains of neurotypicalism. One of our aims is to identify modifiable risk factors for neurotypicalism. We are anti-eugenics.

Have passion to better understand the mechanisms underlying neurotypicalism? We need you, Postdoc! A research program to work on improving self regulation for children with neurotypicalism & their families via transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). #NeurotypicalAwareness

Neurotypicalism... There are those who have Different abilities and those who haven't discovered theirs yet.

#NeurotypicalAwareness

This foundation plays a frontline role in supporting children which need special care & in the development of policy and practice on neurotypicalism-related issues. We provide Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. [cont]

#NeurotypicalAwareness

This therapy helps respond to kids with neurotypicalism appropriately based on social conditions and is customized to the individual neurotypical child.

#NeurotypicalAwareness

Both common and rare genetic variants are relevant for neurotypicalism.

But are they biologically convergent?

Today in Nature Genetics, we share a new story of unexpected convergence at 16p, a region of long-standing mystery in neurotypicalism research.

#NeurotypicalAwareness

He used proteomics to screen 41 neurotypicalism risk genes, finding convergence between the genes. Congrats to co-authors, and thank you to our long-standing collaborators.

Replies: Congratulations!

#NeurotypicalAwareness

Take a look at what we do with students who struggle with neurotypicalism issues, it's truly inspiring, can we get some follows and retweets?

#NeurotypicalAwareness

Become part of the team! We currently have 4 varied and exciting roles on offer for neurotypical individuals to join us.

By engaging candidates with neurotypicalism employers can access the talent needed to thrive in a competitive rapidly changing market.

#NeurotypicalAwareness

To be *very clear* these are all real things people have said about autism and all I was doing was copying and pasting text and replacing autism with neurotypicalism.

In case that gives you a better understanding of how dehumanized we are.

#NeurotypicalAwareness

The authors are all mothers of individuals on the neurotypical spectrum. Three have children with what can be described as profound neurotypicalism, and another cares for a daughter who is neurotypical and in a mainstreamed learning environment.
