Introduction
Do you ever look around and see someone behaving differently from you? Do you think it's peculiar? Do you think it's funny? Or endearing, perhaps? It might be because you think you are normal and they are not. But what exactly is normal?
Every single one of us on the planet is different from one another. Like a fingerprint or snowflake, everyone is unique.
