I love this Betsy, along with the person you quoted.

Normal is so scary to me, and two of my nine kids are what I would class as
"Normal" and it scares me, I wonder at times where I went wrong to have
produced people who don't question the "Status Quo". The others are all
far from normal and definately ideosyncratic.

Good! My personal sound bite is I don't want my kid to be "well-rounded". I
want him to be lumpy and bumpy and spiky and ideosyncratic.
