It’s not a medical term but Neurotypical is a person with an average brain, and a Neurodivergent is a person who brain is in some way not average. It would include things like autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, but also things like outside the norm memory, IQ, emotional intligence, etc (Both good and bad).
I would have said it’s value neutral, but apparently some peoples version of masking is to replace the slurs they are thinking with “Neurodivergent”, so your mileage may vary depending on who you are talking to.
