allistic: This word was coined by Andrew Main in 2003. By creating "allistic" to complement "autistic," the author wanted these words to have no connotations of normality or abnormality. The word "allistic" is based on the Greek word "allos," meaning "other," just as "autos" (in "autism") means "self." 3, record 1, English, - allistic
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 OBS
Neurotypical is the opposite of neurodivergent, not the opposite of autistic. Autism is only one of many forms of neurodivergence, so there are many, many people who are neither neurotypical nor autistic. 2, record 1, English, - allistic
