>"Neurotypical" always rubs me the wrong way, because I feel I've never met this person with a typical mind and I'm not sure they exist.

The variation of "traits over a very high dimensional space" doesn't really prevent the distinction.

"A distribution over a very high dimensional space" can still have clustered groups on one side of the high dimentional space vs the other side, based on a set of X traits.

And neurotypicals are clustered away from neurodivergent people of various types, on the relevant traits.

(Plus, of course, traits that are equally variable within both groups are neutral as far as the classification is concerned).
