Well hello indie people! Today I talk about why I dislike the word neurotypical and the reason why I don't use it to describe people are are not neurologically diverse/autistic etc. Also I talk about what a #neurotypical is!

What is your opinion of the word neurotypical? Do you call people neurotypical? Also if you are a "neurotypical", what is your opinion of this video and the point that I shared. Do you agree or disagree? I would love to hear from you down in the comments, let's have a conversation.

Have a great day!
