Word of the Week #318:

Contrarian

I have been reading up on the concept of neurodivergence. Seems odd to me, to be honest.

I mean, what is “normal”? Who decides what “normal” should look like? Really, who defines and delineates anything?

This is the kind of conformity was something that bothered me throughout my childhood. Apparently, I am far from the only one. Apparently, being different in the way they think and learn and understand the world around us is seen by many as a neurological condition.

Divergence is such an ugly term, isn’t it? But on the other hand, I was born different. What you gonna do.
