When I see the abbreviation, I automatically decipher it into the word "neurotypical".
It's a snap unconscious process for me.

I read "En-Tee" because that's how the individual letters sound, and that's what I see. Of course, I'm well aware that, in this community, it stands for Neurotypical.

"entee"

Though its first meaning to me is Windows (current versions of Windows are, behind their marketing names, all NT something.something), rather than neurotypical.

"En-tee"

I'd think of Northern Territory if I never knew what it meant :P
