Deviant example sentences

Many psychologists have stated that 'abnormal' is simply a label that is given to a behaviour which is deviant from social expectations.Many autistic children never develop speech and those who do, have repetitive and deviant speech patterns.Persons who do not conform (called 'deviants' or 'non-conformists') get noticed more than those who do conform.That is, psychological disorders are deviant (different, extreme, unusual, even bizarre), distressing (unpleasant and upsetting to the person and to others), dysfunctional (interfering with the person's ability to carry out daily activities in a constructive way), and possibly dangerous (to the person or to others).When people break the norms of their society, they are called deviant and 'mentally ill'.Why does it happen? It is easier for a deviant member (one who does not conform) to be noticed in a small group.
