[quote=Anonymous][quote]I realize that parents of SN kids live with it every day. They get very accustomed to their own language, etc. There's probably a herd mentality that goes along with it. But you also have to understand that most of us do not, in fact, live with it every day, and to expect or demand that we use your language is off-putting. I appreciate how hard you have to advocate for your child, but you don't get to tell me how or what to think, or what words to use.[/quote]

I'm sorry you're unable to learn and use new multisyllabic words but your annoyance is misplaced.  Neurotypical, as explained before, is the correct term for kids who do not have neurological disorders.  It has nothing to do with being 'normal'.  I have a kid with hypotonia (low muscle tone for those who can't learn new words) which means he is NOT neurotypical but to the casual observer, he looks and behaves just like any other 'normal' kid.  But, he has a neurological condition that makes him different than others even though you can't see it.  It has nothing to do with 'herd mentality'.  It's not even our 'own language'.  It's about using correct terminology. Just because you have this challenges doesn't mean others have to operate with your same vocabulary limitations.[/quote]
