A descriptor for individuals whose neurological patterns align with dominant societal expectations. Neurotypical people are often treated as the “default” in schools, medicine, and communication norms, even when that default excludes or misrepresents others.
Why it matters:
Many tools, therapies, and platforms are built around neurotypical assumptions. This often leads to marginalization or pathologizing of neurodivergent needs. In the context of RCA and Biasology, naming neurotypicality as a cultural norm, rather than a neutral default, is essential to recognizing bias and structural exclusion.
