Is it normal to grow up with asperger's?

I used to think I was a normal kid, I stirred my father's coffee in the caravan, I listened to rock and roll (sometimes), I played Space Invaders back in the '80s, and wanted to play better computer games, like the games on the Commodore Amiga, I was average, and lived with a not-so-average brother, and one who was cool (Ashley Story and David Fenwick). In Cowell I ate meat and potatoes with Flora margarine country style and I thought it was a butter sauce (I was generous with the margarine, I was a fat kid and most people said I was skinny, that's a lie, I had a stocky body, I saw my photo). In fact as a teenager I was thin, but I was also a big boy (and didn't act normal as a teenager). Nobody knew what was wrong with me, it's not Asperger's, I was unique, one of a kind, it's only later in life when I stopped that, is that normal?

    Your word salad has nothing to do with anything, as per usual.

      It's to do with those days when I was a kid growing up diagnosed with Asperger's.

      But it does :/ it's also acceptable to type it without, but as the person it is named for is Asperger, then it has an apostrophe.

      I'll agree that hansberger isn't too bright, though.

        Heh heh heh, that's hilarious! I got the spelling correct.

    I don’t get it. You’re asking why you acted up as a kid but not now? I guess the answer lies in your age, but social factors are also relevant.

      I suppose I grew up, because this normal kid behaviour I don't possess now. I don't have so much margarine on my food nowadays, that's because I saw a dietician and I'm trying to lose weight.
