“Odd” – because I stand out from the crowd

“Weird” – because my tastes are not like yours

“Dysfunctional” – because my emotions cloud all else (at times)

“Fussy” – because I choose silence over chatter

“Stupid” – because it takes time to process your speech

“Lazy” – because reading stories is effortful

“Unfriendly” – because fake smiles are lost on me

“Unsociable” – because my own space is sacrosanct

Are these the labels you use to judge?

To deride, to define, to undermine?

Is there another way to see?

And challenge the things you think you see?
