I started using the term neuro-normative a while back instead of neurotypical or "healthy" "sane" etc. I also think everone to varying degrees has to fake fitting into that box. The pseudo- psychology tests that workplaces make you take are really ways of weeding out anyone that doesn't fit into or fake it well enough.
