What on Earth do you mean "can't have"? Words don't "belong" to anyone- and if they did, they'd belong to the allists who invented them. If you mean "can't have" in the sense of "can't experience", then first off, I assure you that they CAN be over/understimulated (have you ever heard of children?), and more importantly, would you really NOT want them to have words for conditions they'll never experience? How can they possible hope to understand you if you don't even allow them words to describe you?

Because they don't know what they're talking about. It's like "I'm a bit OCD about that". If they were actually on the OCD spectrum then they wouldn't say that.
My wife hates that I describe myself as neurodivergent - I have ADD and OCD - despite her being a doctor. And I'm diagnosed by a psychiatric team, not self-assessed.
Being neurotypical doesn't mean you don't experience overwhelming emotions at times. Neurodivergent just experience them on a more regular bases. These things are only symptoms.

Because they actually can.. Weather or not you believe it is irrelevant.. And this comes from someone who is NT, and is married to a woman who was diagnosed with aspergers syndrome and is on the autism spectrum. Im better equipt to understand it than most NT people. An example of being over stimulated is feeling physically sick, overwhelmed, after being in a crowded place like Walmart.. Hyperfixation is a lesser issue, but it happens when I'm dealing with things I'm very interested in. Non NT people do not have a monopoly on those things, and it's ignorant in the extreme to suggest it cannot happen to NT people.
What are you talking about. We are not inside your head. Define your terms.
What, in the ever living fuck, are you on about?
Because they can have them. You can spam everyone telling them they can't and they most certainly can.
Because they can and can experience it.
SO we're creating a new word to describe normal people and then gatekeeping words they can use?
Jesus "neurotypical" is this the woke term for non psychotic people nowadays.
