If the word is to have any scientific use at all in psychology,
it should mean "deviation from human behavior", defined by
mathematical constraints of deviance from a mean, and
referencing all human behavior, behavior which encompasses
not only the behavior of peoples living in one's own time
and cutlure, but also those of other times, places, and
culture.
And under this standard, neither homosexuality nor
pedosexuality is "deviant".

Lots of parents trying to get Junior to take out the
garbage, or to clean his room, or to stop hanging around
that girl or boy, would differ with you. Lots of exasperated
teachers trying to get Junior to do his homework would also
tell you differently.
