Hello, I'm DaveSeidel. An edit that you recently made to Neurotypical seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! DaveSeidel (talk) 20:11, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Neurotypical
Sorry, I disagree. The entire point of the term "neurotypical" is to characterize people who do not have atypical neurology and who are, in other words neurologically typical. From the very next sentence: "this refers to anyone who does not have conditions such as autism" (emphasis added). If we consider autism to be atypical, then "not atypical" is an appropriate term for a non-autistic person. But rather then enter into an edit war, I will leave it for now and add a comment to the talk page. - DaveSeidel (talk) 22:13, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

My apologies, you were right originally. My mistake was reading the entire subject as "NeuroAtypical", which is a word people in my circle do actually use. This reversed the meaning of the sentence I thought I was fixing, but of course seeing that the intended word was "Neurotypical", my edit was in error. Thanks for pointing it out!
