神经典型

神经典型（Neurotypical；英文：neurologically typical；缩写：NT），最初是自闭症社群生造用于指明那些不在自闭症谱系上的人。^[1]其后发展为泛指无神经学特异表现的人：换言之，即没有精神障碍或心理问题的人。

这个词已经被“allistic”和“nypical”替代，原本拥有相同涵义。^[2] 这个概念后来被神经多样化（Neurodiversity）和科学团体采用。^[3][4][5]

英国自闭症协会（National Autistic Society）建议，虽然可以使用 neuroptypical 一词，但也指出该词主要系由自闭症者使用，因此可能不适用于大众媒体等处。^[6]
