This is the sort of question we like to ask: What is normal?
According to the dictionary normal is "conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected:"
Normal seems to be something that we judge others by - a standard measurement.
"Her behaviour isn't normal?"
"He doesn't look normal."
Maybe you strive not to be normal - or cannot bare the thought of not being normal.
What you think is normal is probably quite different to what I think normal is - but does that make me a bad person?
What do you think is normal?

I sing with a group of people that have disabilities and/or learning difficulties and that is the norm for that group. However, a couple of us do not have disabilities and/or learning difficulties and are therefore not conforming to the standard. Therefore, do you think that the situation a person is in determines whether or not they are seen as normal? Just a thought...
I think you are probably right. Maybe we should get a social scientist to come up with their definition.
