The term "neurotypical" refers to a person who has typical or standard neurodevelopment, which means that their brain functions in a way that is considered normal and falls within the range of what is commonly observed. This term is often used as a contrast to individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or other conditions that affect neurodevelopment. In essence, being "neurotypical" means having typical brain development and functioning without any significant impairments or differences in cognitive abilities, behavior or social interactions.
