I know you're taking heat for it, but I kind of like the quirky wording.
I'm probably a part of your target audience, and I don't have any problem with calling myself unusual. It feels a lot less loaded than "neurodiverse" or something of that ilk. And it's true.
I think being able to recognize that you're unusual and that it's not inherently bad to be unusual is a powerful thing for certain people.
I also like that this is a place besides reddit to talk about that stuff, because I feel awkward using my main account there to talk on certain health-related subreddits.

I'll probably sign up eventually. Best of luck.
