There is no such thing as neurotypical, it is a word used by people, who do have issues tbf, to insult others in order to take the heat off their own failings or feel superior to others. It is a sneer!word

I think there is a useful concept of "neurotypical" that can be separated from its use in online circles as a strawman word or a sneer word.

This is just part of the nature of concepts and definitions. At the ground level reality is comprised of singular and unique phenomena. For pragmatic reasons, we come up with labels and categories that allow us to group unique phenomena together in ways that are useful and productive.

So, yes, "neurotypical" is an abstract category that includes an infinite sea of human variation, but that's just how categories work in general. The question is whether "neurotypical" and "neurodivergent" are useful buckets we can use to grapple with the facts in question.
