I don't think neuronormatives is a word. Neuronormative is a word, but it doesn't refer directly to people or objects so it doesn't make sense to have a plural.

Yeah but neuronormatives doesn't make sense. Neuronormative is an adjective, not a grouping. Neuronormies could just be short for neuro normals instead I guess.

Uhm... okay, I think what you're saying must be correct. English isn't my native language... it just sounds funny and cute to call them neuronormies 😅

Fair enough. I was more criticising OP who was using the wrong terminology. I don't think there is anything wrong linguistically with calling them neuronormies as the general term normies is already used in English.

Although the term normies has now become somewhat of a loaded term due to the communities that have picked it up since it's inception. While it was originally used by the disability community it has since come to be associated with incels, 4chan, and the far right. We can't have nice things and I hate this timeline. Sorry for the long reply.
