putting yourself under preassure to be 'normal'

Hi I am a 52 yo man, and have only been self/GP diagnosed yet after finding out about ASD 3 years ago. I have always had two parts of my brain my ASD side and my 'normal side. I say normal as that part seems to tell me what it thinks a normal person would do. It is mostly right but it seems very extreme and lacks any idea that humans fail.  I have had lots of problems over the last couple of years and have suffered two meltdowns, last one in November. Then in March I lost my job, got a new one straight away. However I quit yesterday as I could not handle it. I am now really trying to switch my 'normal side' off as it is giving me lots of anxiety. Am I the only one to have a brain like this?
