I agree with you, there isn't truly a 'normal person,' we all do suffer from the affliction of life and having an intellect. I also agree that we should embrace the odd differences, how boring would a homogenous world be?
What I'm referring to is different than difficult emotional states though, my brain interprets the world in different ways and I have different and more intense responses to stimuli. I've learned to cope with the emotional aspect, but it is difficult to put into words the way my brain operates and how that affects my action.
It feels like I'm trying to walk with no legs sometimes, if I was actually wheelchair bound it would be clear, but it isn't even clear to me what is happening internally.
