Hi, I'm new. I keep seeing NT in people's posts and it obviously means people without AS or autism. But what does NT actually stand for? Normal Types? Ninja Turtles? Not-in-Tune :?: ?

Just curious...

Thanks jawbrodt, that's what I was thinking too. But that makes AS people "not-normal, or abnormal" where I prefer to consider AS people vs. Others as Interesting vs. Non-interesting, normal people being the social lemmings.

I agree. Also, I have found some other abbreviations that I didn't know. I can't remember any off hand, and I did look for a glossary,on this site, with no luck. I guess time will tell.

Hey, I've got another Q or 2. Do you know why I'm an "Emu Egg" and what that line of boxes below my name is for?

It means NeuroTypical.

Emu Egg is your rank in posts, the boxes show it too.

I know that emu egg is the first stage,thats where I started. It's a status symbol, related directly to your number of posts. As for the blue boxes, I'm not sure yet. As I approach 100 posts, I just noticed my first box is now outlined. Maybe, when you reach 500 posts, you become a veteran. Thats entirely a guess.

PS; nice to meet ya.

You are welcome and you can do links too. It's in the margine above where you write replys and looks like a globe with a chain in front of it.

No.... not Nijia Turtles. It stands for Neuro Typical.

NT=Neuro typical=label for norm types.
