People with Asperger's are Autistic but are "normal" (his word) enough to know they are different and want to be "normal."

Not sure if I have Asperger's, but tendencies the least. I surely realized I was an outcast and perceived as different, and in that sense I felt I wasn't normal. I would have liked to have more friends, be accepted and included. And I think this means I wanted to be like the others, just without the bother of having to behave like them and sharing the same interests. Given my dyspraxia I was realitic enough to see this was not a possibility for the larger part of male socializing, i.e. team sports like football.

And at some point the realization kicked in that I actually didn't want to be normal.
