I prefer the term "neurotypical" (or NT) for these folks, for whom a significant chunk of their precious grey matter is set aside for processing social cues, rather than important things like Dr. Who or vector calculus.For more, please visit my web site at http://micahjoel.info/ or find @micahpedia on Twitter.
