As adjectives the different between normal and typical is that normal is according to norms or rules while typical is capturing the overall sense of a thing.
A typical disabled person might need or do or use such and such a thing, but it's not normal to be a disabled person (visible or invisible).
It's typical for people to age and bodies to show that aging process (gray hair, wrinkly skinny, etc), but it's not normal to see someone in their 80's or 90's working out at a gym.
It's typical for a girl to start dreaming about her wedding as she matures, and it's not normal for a girl to dream about staying by herself for the rest of her life only surrounded by animals.
This is one I speak of from personal experience because of my high functioning autistic daughter. She and I both would rather be around animals for ever instead of people.
It's typical for Americans at some point in their lives to file bankruptcy and start over, it's not normal, however, to have a couple going through this actually stay together and work through it instead of filing for divorce and separating.
This one I also speak of from personal experience because my husband and I had to file for bankruptcy back in 2008 because we lost our jobs and our home and everything, but the lawyer was confused and surprised by us because we sat on the couch together holding hands instead of standing at opposite ends of the room looking in opposite directions.
It's typical for teenagers in social situations to go along with the crowd, it's not normal for them to stand against the popular vote. This is why there are bullies, because when you go against the flow, the first reaction is to throw back something negative, because of evil.
It's typical for people to want to fit in, to cuss when other people cuss, to dress the same way others do. It's not normal to say "i'm not going to do that because I have a different set of values".
