      I do this and it makes me wonder. It doesn’t seem normal typical but it makes a lot of sense to me

        You’re allowed to use the word normal. It means something quite understandable for most, and only very sensitive people object to its use.

          Haha. Nah, I wasn’t being serious. I was making a reference to the “-typical” in the term neurotypical and thought it was funniee to point it out - like a wink wink nudge nudge thing

      Pro-tip, a lot of the parenthesis are not as necessary as they seem at first and you can use the content as part of the sentence directly, making it sound more natural.
