Screw 'normal'
If you are AS then you are not normal.
Any attempt to become normal will fail.
It will waste your energy, and will frustrate you.
However, learning how to better simulate some sembelance of normalcy will aid you in your life. So learn and develop mechanisms and tricks.
Use them to your brnrfit.
Remember that you are YOU, not the sum of your tricks.
Be happy.

Im sure I had alot of brilliant ideas when I was 7, but I kept them to myself.

WrongPlanet has been a source of inspiration for my son.
He loves reading the posts of other people who are just like him.
You can check out some of his posts - his name is UbbyUbbyUbby.
Maybe if you'd been on WrongPlanet when you were 7 you would have expressed your brilliant ideas!
In the meantime, in another forum topic someone came up with a good website which I found hilarious:
http://www.isntautistics.org
"Neurotypical syndrome is a neurobiological disorder characterized by preoccupation with social concerns, delusions of superiority, and obsession with conformity.
Neurotypical individuals often assume that their experience of the world is either the only one, or the only correct one. NTs find it difficult to be alone. NTs are often intolerant of seemingly minor differences in others. When in groups NTs are socially and behaviorally rigid, and frequently insist upon the performance of dysfunctional, destructive, and even impossible rituals as a way of maintaining group identity. NTs find it difficult to communicate directly, and have a much higher incidence of lying as compared to persons on the autistic spectrum.
NT is believed to be genetic in origin. Autopsies have shown the brain of the neurotypical is typically smaller than that of an autistic individual and may have overdeveloped areas related to social behavior."

Hard words to tell someone who obssesses over his rampant, unchangable imperfections...

But the important thing to remember is that it is not a disease, it is a disorder. with proper care and a loving support team, neurotypicals can find a rich and rewarding life, no different than you or me.
