Well, I read a Yahoo group for spouses/partners/etc. of people with AD/HD, and that's where I first encountered the term. I'm not sure how widely known/used it really is.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

I'm familiar with it but I wouldn't call it common parlance.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've mostly seen it in discussions of autism and Aspergers.

And that's probably where it's most commonly used; I'm just more familiar with the AD/HD community.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Interesting. I'm not saying that I'm using it correctly, but I tend to think of non-NT as not requiring a diagnosis, just someone whose brain appears to work noticeably differently than I'd expect. I think of it as equivalent to "neuro-diverse" (which I prefer, since it's positively stated). Am I conflating two different things?

I don't think it does; I think it's a term that people apply to themselves (or others).

I don't think so.

Cool. It's nice when I don't have to re-organize my lexicon.

I think of the term as a short-hand roughly equivalent (though probably more broad-reaching)to cis.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

? I don't get how they're related or equivalent. Unless you're talking about NT and not non-NT, and even then.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I can see that: cis being in some way parallel to neurotypical, esp wrt the degree of privilege. And now I'm thinking about neuro-privilege...this was not my plan for today.
