I have autism and this fact has disturbed me greatly for some time, to the point its led me to some dark paths. I just want to know if I can actually live a normal life with it or am I doomed to be a weirdo forever?

Personally, I’m not really sure if a true “neurotypical” exists. Just people with traits that don’t yet have scientific/quantitative definitions or labels for. We’re all just people and our only common trait is that we’re all different and weird.
Neurotypical just means you’re in the bulge of the bell curve of traits, so your traits are common. It doesn’t mean you’re normal, just average.
Or…. “Typical”…. 😉
exactly
(though I was trying to avoid a circular definition)
