I'm surprised some of the things I've posted didn't get me banned a long time ago.
Sometimes when I'm in a crowded place, I think to myself "Here's a novel idea, scream out something like OH MY GOD A BOMB!!"

But then I'd probably get trampled to death.

probably not trampled... but in a lot of countries you would get arrested for that.
It is normal for all people, autistic and not, to have these strange thoughts and strange dreams. The difference between a good person and a bad person is actually acting them out.
Back when I used to have a lot of violent thoughts, my therapist told me that wasn't normal.

Honestly, I think it comes down to the frequency and severity of the thoughts. For example, I've gotten angry at people and imagined what it might be like to punch them in the head, but I don't follow through. I'd say I have a thought of that sort maybe 2 or 3 times a week. I don't consider my thoughts to be abnormal.
Now, if somebody has thoughts multiple times a day about hurting people, especially unprovoked, that's not normal. I've never imagined what it would be like to punch somebody in the head at random. They have to provoke me first but somehow disrespecting me.
I think if you're walking down the street and you pass some random dude and you imagine what it would be like to stab him or some crazy thing like that you need to see a psychiatrist pretty urgently.
