Define "normal". Do you mean conforming to a standard or an expectation set by society? Boring? Traditional? Hum drum?
I wouldn't necessarily say I'm normal by any means, but we first have to determine what normal means in this situation.

I knew that question was coming. That definition is up to you and open for interpretation.
I wouldn't say I am a normal person.
Well, a lot of it depends on expectations of the society you live in:
1) Age - Different expectations for normal in certain age brackets
2) Gender - Different expectations for male/female/transgender, etc
3) Race - Different expectations for certain races depending on where you live
4) Education - Expectations about your 'career' in education
5) Work experience - Job expectations at certain ages, promotions, where you should "be in life" as dictated by several factors.
6) Marriage & Kids (eg creating your own family)
7) Sexuality
8) What kind of music you listen to
9) Hobbies, etc

Haha, I can't help it! It's not as simple as "yes, I'm normal" or "no, I'm not normal." There's always the WHY are you normal/not normal question that has to follow.
I could be a culmination of several factors.

I wouldn't say I was normal in the sense I don't think there is a 'normal'. I probably fall under some category of a 'label' but the word 'normal' covers almost everyone, I mean, if I had 2 brains and 14 legs and 5 eyes then okay maybe I wouldn't count as normal haha

Thats the answer I was looking for, I pictured this poll to be 100% "No's" when I created it, and that's what it is.
Dont feel bad about being different peeps! We all are.
Haha, if I'd've known the answer was rigged, I...! Well, I don't know what I would've done. In that case, I am not normal at all.

Now that my Public Service Announcement has been exposed, I can foresee a few "Yes" votes

Nope. I'm totally crazy. 
This still applies for me, but now, 7 years later, I care even less what anyone on this whole planet thinks of me. If someone doesn't like me for whatever reason and thus believes I'm not normal because I don't fit into their frame of "normality" - tough, not my problem.

Never been normal in me life, mate. I'm on the spectrum so expecting me to be normal is asking the impossible.

When I first started my job a co-worker came up to me and said "you are one of the few normal people here!" A year or so later I went up to him and asked why he hadn't said that since, and he just looked at me for a few seconds and then walked away. 😅😅 So maybe I am too normal? 😮😮

Me tooNope. I'm totally crazy.
Nobody expects you to be normal
Its in your bedroom, the one with no furniture and padded walls. 
Nope, open for interpretation as I mentioned several years ago
If everyone isn't normal, then being abnormal is normal.
