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?

  • It's normal to want to fit in and be accepted by others. We all want to feel like we belong. However, it's important to remember that being normal is overrated. In fact, it's much more interesting to be unique and different. So don't be afraid to embrace your individuality. The world needs more people who are willing to stand out from the crowd.

    I don't think there's any such thing as normal anyway. We're all different, we're all unique, I try to embrace this in myself. I spent the first 20 years of my life trying to fit in and please others but not anymore.
