Is it normal to want to be normal?

for me “Normal”/ “not normal” is just a subjective thing, depending on how the majority is. My mom says: we are the normal ones, the rest of the world is crazy. I stopped trying to be “normal”- like others. Sometimes I just try to act “normal” if necessary but I know that im different and I always was. So for me nothing changes. I know that im unable to maintain multiple friendships so I have just one friend for 15 years and she is living in another country so I have no one to see frequently and im happy enjoying my own company and having contact with her online/ on the phone. The diagnosis does not change anyone into autistic, it only informs and explains why we are the way we are. It may be hard to accept, or shocking.
