  Well in this case what they really needed was cockpits that could be adjusted within a range of "typical". And these were statisticians but the field was not as mature as it is today.
context: "Typical" is just a range. It doesn't mean identical; it means within the range of most common outcomes.
  So yes, each person is neurodiverse on an individual level, but the majority of people (by definition) are neurotypical, because their diversities fall within the range of most common outcomes.
  That said, society benefits from treating everyone's neurodiversity with respect, whether people fall within the typical range or not. >
  
  Reminds me me of a fun story of the early days of the US air force. The army took measurements of all of their pilots and designed the perfect cockpit for the "average pilot" then quickly discovered they didn't have enough average pilots to put in those cockpits. >
