The term is relevant to people that want to make the distinction. I'd say it probably does compare to how 'neurotypical' is used around here, I doubt we'll ever hear that cross over into popular lexicon. In the end, we aren't normal but there isn't anything wrong with that.
Agree with each point: that its a needed term for the minority in-group, that its like the NT is used here, and that were not normal, but that there is nothing wrong with that.
If you live in the tail you need a word for the rest of the dog.
Jews have the word "gentile" (or 'goyem') for the larger group of humanity who are not Jews. The Rom (or Gypsies) use the word "gadjay" to label non-gypsies. The German language has the word "Ausland" to label he whole surface of the planet outside of borders of Germany. There is starting to be community of folks born as twins/tripletes etc. They use the word "singleton" for all of us in the 87/88s part of the population who are not born in a multiple birth.
