So, you're basically saying that doing things the way you think works the best and not being afraid of new things, instead of simply choosing the path of least resistance gets you on the autism spectrum? If that's the case, then I think "normal" might be the biggest lie I've ever been told.
Think about your average Joe/Joanne. Are they someone who are willing to go against the status quo? Are they someone always ready to try new things? Are they someone not afraid to express themselves and be an actual individual?
That's why it's called normal because it's the most widespread, but I agree with you, normal is not something I want in my life and that already puts me on a spectrum somewhere.
