Just so you know kids with autism are "normal" too.

Kind of disagree as this is not expected behavior or OP would not have posted.
From the dictionary: normal - conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected.

I don't disagree. The OP's kid is definitely demonstrating atypical behaviors.

But, for example, if a kid without autism is normal, does that mean a kid with autism is not? So they're abnormal? Weird? I don't like the "normal" qualifier applied to people. We're all normal in our weird ways.

that doesn't make any sense. Normal means "the norm." I think you mean we're all perfectly acceptable, our weird ways notwithstanding.
