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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
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.

Hmm, let me try to explain. I see NT and cis both used as a shorthand for what the world thinks of as normal in a way that doesn't specifically categorize or "other" people who fall outside of that. One relating to body and/or gender identity, the other relating to thought/behavior/brain function.
Does that make more sense? I don't know that it's correct, just how I think I've encountered the terms.
ETA:
esp wrt the degree of privilege.
Yes, that's good context to add
