For many people, including me, part of recovering from that abuse is accepting that you're significantly different compared to the average person. If you're ND and can't accept that, you might be masking and that can be really harmful.

That being said, there's still a difference between being called "different" or "weird", and if the latter is being hurled at you with malice by friends, they might not really be your friends...

Oh i know i'm weird, and i'm fine with it.

I'm also Queer (and born in the 70's) so i treat the two words with the same nuance. Certain people are allowed to call me those words. Others can keep a fucking civil tongue in their heads

There is a weird tone (pun intended) for an insulting kind of weird, one for an "acknowledging one is out of the ordinary" kind of weird and even one for a complimenting (even envious) kind of weird.
