The article explores the concept of neurotypicality, revealing how although individual brains are unique (neurodivergent), they also share a common hierarchy of control systems, which makes us all neurotypical in a certain sense. This duality emphasizes that while brain functions vary in complexity, the underlying control mechanisms remain consistent across different individuals. The author personally reflects on discovering the term 'neurotypical' and how it sparked a deeper understanding of brain functions and their similarities despite individual differences.
Even though everyone's brain functions uniquely, we are all neurotypical in that we share a common hierarchical structure of control systems guiding our behaviors.
Exploring the term 'neurotypical' led me to realize that the brains of different individuals can engage in complex control processes, regardless of their unique functions.
