On WrongPlanet, it usually means someone who is not on the Autistic Spectrum.
I believe this was the definition of those who started using the term "neurotypical." Of course, like any other word, its meaning could expand in dynamic ways.
Neurotypical is a bit of a skewed word to call people not on the autism spectrum, as though it's implying that everyone in the world is normal except autistics, which I feel is offensive. Which is why I call anyone not on the spectrum ''allistic''. I use the term ''neurotypical'' to describe people who weren't born with any mental disorders that affect intellectual, social or emotional development. I don't know about mental health issues such as bipolar, because usually people aren't born with those and a person with that can be more or less ''normal'' when on medication.
But things that can't be ''cured'' through meds or therapy (like intellectual disability, downs syndrome, autism, etc) are not neurotypical. Anxiety and depression is common in humans so having those disorders alone doesn't make a neurotypical not neurotypical, especially if caused by environment, such as abusive relationships or loss.
Stalkers can be NT, as not all NTs are well-adjusted and some NTs can develop an obsession that makes them seem like a stalker but are actually harmless. Of course, the person being stalked is not to know that.
