Allism is sometimes used by autistic self-advocates as a term for non-autistic people. Autism comes from the Greek 'autos' for 'self' (self-oriented), allism comes from the Greek 'allos' for 'other' (other-oriented).
Most people use 'neurotypical' or 'typically developing', but those aren't exact antonyms because some people aren't neurotypical but aren't autistic either - they have other neurodevelopmental differences, such as Down syndrome or whatever.
