Advice for parents of a child newly diagnosed with 'normality'
The normal child will usually be heavily socially dependent and this can leave the child deeply vulnerable to 'peer pressure'. This can lead to such undesirable behaviours as loss of individuality, bullying and intolerance of others and 'pack mentality'.
Allism: An introduction to a little known condition:
2.3. sensory impairment
Most allistic people have moderate to profound impairment of the introspective senses. Many allistic people are unable to consciously examine their mental models of the world, and are unaware of their progress in learning new skills until they try them out. Many are only vaguely, or even only subconsciously, aware of their bodies' internal health, nutritional demands, biochemical state, and so on. Almost all allistic people are unable to tell the difference between real and psychosomatic physiological effects.

3.0. social ritual
An allistic person learns subconsciously that they is dependent on others for their emotional experience. Consequently, they tend to develop the habit of manipulating the form and content of social interactions in order to elicit from others expressions of emotion that they will find pleasing when incorporated into their mind. This phenomenon is manifested as ritual greetings and superficial enquiries concerning irrelevancies.

Allistic people often become distressed when such efforts fail by eliciting an unexpected and undesired response. Furthermore, for many sufferers, this emotion-seeking behaviour comes to dominate over normal social interaction, eventually interfering with practical needs Where allistic people have contact with each other, they tend to subconsciously cater to each other's need for pleasing emotional expressions. Each recognises the other's attempts to elicit pleasing responses, and gives the desired response without any consideration for accuracy, thus avoiding the possibility of an unpleasant experience from an unanticipated accurate response. The effectiveness of the response in affecting the emotional state of the questioner seems to be unaffected by the awareness of both parties of its insincerity.
Neurotypical syndrome
Neurotypical syndrome is a neurobiological disorder characterized by preoccupation with social concerns, delusions of superiority, and obsession with conformity. According to The Institute for the Study of the Neurologically Typical(INST), as many as 9625 out of every 10,000 individuals may be neurotypical. (Yes, that means you too)

Neurotypical individuals (NTs) often assume that their experience of the world is either the only one, or the only correct one. NTs find it difficult to be alone. NTs are often intolerant of seemingly minor differences in others. When in groups NTs are socially and behaviorally rigid, and frequently insist upon the performance of dysfunctional, destructive, and even impossible rituals as a way of maintaining group identity. NTs find it difficult to communicate directly, and have a much higher incidence of lying as compared to persons on the autistic spectrum.
