I must have a childish personality (maybe that's why no one talks to me at school). Sad

I can honestly say that my personality is stereotypically adolescent; which I suppose isn't such a bad thing, given that I am an adolescent...

I tend to think that I started exhibiting some of my more positive "childlike" qualities when I had begun to become an adult. Personally, I rather like having that nonstop energy.

Well, I AM an adult. I'm trying to look at things and think a little more like a kid again. Kids DO have some nice qualities that adults try to get rid of. 8-( I can't really remember a time where I was CHILDISH(outside of maybe up to 5, but what do you expect?). I haven't had any complaints, and have been in some places where I was practically under the microscope. As for emotionally, there might have been like 6 times where someone might have thought I acted like a kid. But HEY, I was RIGHT, even if I overreacted(which I think I did like maybe 3 times), so was it really out of line?

I usually sound way older than I am, simply because I've had a lot of experiences, lol. I used to get along better with the residents at the nursing home I worked at when I was 18 than I got along with my fellow 18 year old co-workers.

But I'd also rather talk to children than adults most of the time Razz

I have both.

I'm an adult with the heart of a child and a child with the heart of an adult.

I'm 35.

As a child, I felt much more like an adult, much older than I was. Now that I'm older, I feel so very childlike..

The child and adult personality label sounds too subjective. We need to define what we are talking about first. But as a general rule persons on the spectrum have delayed social development.


TM1's guess at the math
(Your age divided by 3) + 6 = your social developmental age.

"Do you have the personality of an child or an adult?"

Embarassed Guess it depends on the criteria in question. What is it that the main objective is about?


Your still in school though, so your development is still not complete. Even though of any social lags that you may experience. Your personality and other intelligences like everyones will differ. Meant if you have (AS) or not every individual has an area of proficiency and lack of in another.

Take what I said though with bit grain of salt unless someone close makes any references.
