Neuroarchy 

A societal system where neurotypical individuals hold dominant power and enforce neuronormativity, shaping workplaces, schools, and social expectations in ways that prioritize neurotypical ways of thinking while making life more difficult for autistic people. The neuroarchy is often maintained without conscious intent, as neurotypicals assume their way of thinking and behaving is the default. This leads to environments where autistic people are pressured to mask, suppress their natural traits, and conform to neurotypical expectations—sometimes through Neuroconversion Therapy, a practice that attempts to "train" autistic people to behave more neurotypically.
The neuroarchy makes life harder for autistic people, and those who struggle to conform are often pushed toward neuroconversion therapy.

Mr. Philmoore made us do a 20 minute presentation on Babylonian kings. Rob and Kim were the only ones that knew what to do, so it became a total nerdarchy.
