Neurodivergent means your brain works a little different from most. It can be anything from ADHD, Autism, OCD, etc Neurotypical means someone that is normal according to society standards

Normal and autistic. Typical are normal people but the autistic parents don't want to accept their kids aren't normal so they label both kinds of people to be politically correct.

Aspies, spergs, in that general vein

They're anti-social and weird. Shy. And they try to put the blame on things like being an Autist for why they can't get laid, because this generation lacks the ability to accept blame

I got the sense that neurodivergent is an attempt to replace autistic with something else. I mean it can technically be other things, but whenever I hear someone say neurodivergent they mean autistic.

I get the sense the term autistic is going to get phased out in the same way mentally retarded was.
