Le terme neuro-atypique a été créé par la communauté autistique pour qualifier les personnes qui ont un diagnostic de trouble du spectre de l'autisme. Depuis un certain nombre d'années, le terme neuro-atypique a pris une signification plus large, englobant les personnes qui présentent un trouble «dys» (dyslexie, dyspraxie, dyscalculie, etc.), un déficit de l'attention/hyperactivité, un haut potentiel ou une autre différence neurologique. 5, record 1, French, - personne%20neuroatypique

Le terme «neurodivers» est souvent utilisé à tort pour décrire une personne neuroatypique. Or, ce terme fait référence à la variété des caractéristiques neurologiques que possède un groupe de personnes. On dit d'un groupe qu'il est neurodivers lorsqu'il est composé, par exemple, de personnes neuroatypiques et de personnes neurotypiques. 4, record 1, French, - personne%20neuroatypique
