Neurotic

A word from the times of Sigmund Freud, It no longer used in modern Behavioral Science. So if you look this up in a real dictionary it will say "see Neurosis" which will then say "see Anxiety disorder"

---Neurotic, is a label to describe someone suffering from Neurosis, Neurosis is the term used for the "distress" caused by mental illness.

---I have found two sentence that give good understanding to the word.

1. Neurotic: poor ability to adapt to one's environment, an inability to change one's life patterns, and the inability to develop a richer, more complex, more satisfying personality

2. Neurotic: , On a scale of 1-10; Where 10 is the healthy optimistic well adjusted person with good coping skills to stress and change, that came from a well adjusted family, with no hang up or inhibitions that determent the quality of his life. So a score of 1, would be Neurotic.

3. Neurotic: A negative personality trait that make one prone to anxiety depression, that appears genetic

***4. Neurotic: A inharmonious balance between the ego, id, and super ego, Which affect the thoughts and behaviors produced from the ego. (Sigmund's definition)

5. Neurotic: Thoughts and behaviors deviant from social norms, and usually maladaptive.

---Not to be confused with Psychotic, which means to be out of touch with reality, Neurotic means to suck at dealing with reality.
"Know what your problem is, Shapiro? It's that you just have this really shitty way of looking at things, ya know? I don't have that problem. I just look at the dopeness. But you, it's like you just look at the wackness, ya know?"

Neurotypical

A person whoam some Autistic or Aspie considers "normal" is a Neurotypical. The plural form Neurotypicals refers to

Life would be better for everyone if Neurotypicals were honest with one another instead of droping hints and beating around the bush.

Neurotypical

Neuro-Typical: Individuals whose neurological pathology renders their sensory functioning, social skills and cognitive skills typical.

Neurotypical is a term used by autistic individuals to reference the unique subset of differences that define life on the autism spectrum.

The fact that people born onto the autism spectrum refer to non-autistic individuals as neurotypicals is not an attempt to stand apart from neurologically typical society. Autistic people coined the tern Neurotypical to help us make sense of and find peace within this Neurotypical community that we do not and can not always make sense of any other way.

People suggest that autistic individuals want to be different while claiming to want to be treated as normal. This is wrong. An autistic individual can no more be normal than a black person can pretend to be white. An autistic person demands RESPECT and nothing more from this, neurotypical world. The autistic demand of respect from this worlds neurotypical majority is no more than is demanded any other minority on Earth!

neurotypical

Neurotypical is the opposite of neurodivergent- it means someone who does not have a neuro-developmental disorder such as autism spectrum disorder or ADHD. This word is commonly misused by people on tumblr who are misinformed and believe that it refers to people who dont have a mental illness, rather than people without a neuro-developmental disorder.
