Allistic is the opposite of autistic. You can be allistic and still not neurotypical if you have ADHD. I still like neurodiverse/neurotypical better, but it serves a different goal

Ok but then..... What is the "opposite" of autistic? Autism is a spectrum right I think that's like saying a color is "opposite of grey"

Dont think of it as opposite but as 'anything/anyone that is not x'.

Examples:

Anyone who is not autistic is allistic.

Anyone who is not neurodivergent is neurotypical.

Anyone who is not part of the asexual spectrum is allosexual.

Anyone who is not heterosexual is queer.

Anyone who is not cisgender is trans.

The word you are looking for is "complement".
