Allistic

A term used to describe people who are not autistic, regardless of whether they are neurotypical in other respects. The term was created within autistic communities to provide a specific counterpart to "autistic" that does not frame autism as deviation from a norm. Using "allistic" rather than "non-autistic" or "normal" centers autistic identity as a valid neurological variation rather than positioning it as an absence or deficit. The term is commonly used in neurodiversity discourse and autistic self-advocacy to discuss differences in social interaction, communication styles, and sensory processing between autistic and non-autistic people.
