Well it's been discussed before whether there's such thing as mild Asperger's vs. severe Asperger's. The question here is, can someone be mildly neurotypical and another person be severely neurotypical.

no

neurotypical means 1 of 2 things: you either have some sort of brain disorder, or you don't.

if you're not as neurotypical, something's wrong with your brain, and you're therefore not neurotypical.

I do not think so. One can only be normal identification and cursed to blend into crowds and alternatively normal but queer to various layers of degrees.

O hell yes. Some people are hopelessly severely neurotypical, while others by learning effective coping strategies may be able to overcome neurotypicalism.
