Is it normal to want to be normal?

NAS90621

I'm newly diagnosed as autistic and part of me still wants to be "normal".......whatever normal is. Is this normal? Any advice from anyone feeling a similar way?

  • Hey man, I understand how you feel. I spent a long time wishing I was normal but you know what, we are all normal. We're all different and unique. That is normal. You get groups of people who like to be like everyone else, but I think the best person you can be is yourself.

    It's not always easy and I often find myself still wishing I could be normal but I try to remind myself that I am normal and I'm doing ok.
