Ultimately, not everybody seeks to be "normal", and there is plenty of reason to fear the imposition of normalness when simply being functional would have done just fine.

When you are close to the norm, it’s much easier to ignore your differences. When you are farther away, you have to decide what to do: deny them, accept them, mask them, amplify them.

None of us are truly normal.
