I think of the term as a short-hand roughly equivalent (though probably more broad-reaching)to cis.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

? I don't get how they're related or equivalent. Unless you're talking about NT and not non-NT, and even then.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I can see that: cis being in some way parallel to neurotypical, esp wrt the degree of privilege. And now I'm thinking about neuro-privilege...this was not my plan for today.

Hmm, let me try to explain. I see NT and cis both used as a shorthand for what the world thinks of as normal in a way that doesn't specifically categorize or "other" people who fall outside of that. One relating to body and/or gender identity, the other relating to thought/behavior/brain function.
Does that make more sense? I don't know that it's correct, just how I think I've encountered the terms.
ETA:
esp wrt the degree of privilege.
Yes, that's good context to add

Aw, The Office made me a little weepy. That was sweet.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yes. And I liked the way Andy saved the client relationship after Deangelo wrecked it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Having just seen an ad for the upcoming Community episode, am I the only one who is a little dubious about another paintball episode?

I think they know what kind lightning in a bottle they scored with the first one, so I'm sure they at least think they've got an angle. I'm curious to see what it is.
The Dean is on Raising Hope. Where he teaches you the peril of flirting. Still, it can be useful and cathartic.
And, don't ask, but I watched All About Steve the other day (it was car crash, and then some), and I have to say, I really like Ken Jeong. He's unlikely to play romantic lead any time now, but I like that he wasn't using the same schtick.

Perkins,
the ratings are pretty low for Community, so I'll give them some latitude WRT trying to get people to watch.
