Re: Does the Neurotypical Person actually exist?

(Anonymous) 2021-12-19 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
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.
