You do not have absolute deviation in isolation. Absolute deviation is usually defined around some measure of central tendency - usually the mean but it could be another measure.

The absolute deviation of an observation x, about a measure m is |x - m| which is the non-negative value of (x - m). That is,

|x - m| = x - m if x ≥ m

and m - x if x < m

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
