Normal? Nope!


This was said to me a few weeks ago by a person that I occasionally work with. Myself and a third person stared them down!

My normal obviously isn't their normal! 

It's taken me a long time to accept who I am and not be concerned how others see me.

This person also said that they don't disclose their child's neurodivergence unless absolutely necessary because a label is a bad thing. And as a result their child is embarrassed by their neurodivergence.

I wish I'd known when I was younger that I was Autistic!

So no, I can't just be normal!! Because there is no normal. And besides, normal is boring.
