I tend to think of non-NT as not requiring a diagnosis
I don't think it does; I think it's a term that people apply to themselves (or others).
Am I conflating two different things?
I don't think so.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
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

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yes. And I liked the way Andy saved the client relationship after Deangelo wrecked it.

Having just seen an ad for the upcoming Community episode, am I the only one who is a little dubious about another paintball episode?
