I don't mean to sound "ignorant", but I'm new here. My son is 16yo and diagnosed AS. I continually search for ways to help him and am so glad to have found this website! It's quite interesting. After reading alot of different forums, I am curious...what is an "NT"? Thank you

NT means Neurotypical. It's a term used in psychology to refer to anyone who doesn't have autism, Asperger's syndrome, ADD, etc. Of course, once you start a website, you have to come up with chatspeak for longer words. :D

That question gets asked a lot on here. An NT is someone who isn't on the autism spectrum.

Maybe we need to get a short list of common acronyms on our homepage, or maybe a sticky.
