not following the usual medical pattern

ਵਿਲੋਮ ਸ਼ਬਦ
benign (Indicates non-cancerous; not a direct opposite, but contrasts with concerning findings.) | normal (Shows expected, healthy appearance.)

not matching typical development/behavior

developing or behaving differently from most people

ਸਮਾਨਾਰਥਕ ਸ਼ਬਦ
nontypical (Closer in meaning, but less common in general writing.) | divergent (Often used more neutrally and broadly, not necessarily tied to norms.)
