I understand “allistic” as meaning “not autistic,” which to my mind is at all not synonymous with “neurotypical.”

I think terms like “autistic” and ”ADHD” can be very useful inasmuch as they identify common patterns, just like your example of wheelchairs and glasses. I’m all in favor of that.

I’m just arguing against remembering that “not on the checklist of named diagnostic patterns” does not mean “person who fits some imagine archetype of typicality.”
