They are so accepting of my aspergers, as they are yhemselve become similar. Every morning we have coffee at the clubhouse and share our simple pleasures ahd difficulties. In their company I. Can complain about chang and be welcome. We share mutual suppor for everything. |

i can not be bothered to read every page of this thread, and i have an inclination that i said what i am going to say before.
since i have never been younger than my chronological age, i have no idea how it would feel, so my answer is "no". |

Well, considering people tell me I am "such a child" and "innocent" half the time I guess so.
I feel about 15. It's like I never grew up. I even still have attraction to teenagers. It's terrible. |

In some ways I feel younger and in some ways I feel older. Sometimes I find people my age or older to be immature or childish in certain ways and I feel more mature than them, but there are also certain things that make me feel younger and more immature, childish or naive with than other people my age.
I think it is a bit hard to compare my mental age with my chronological age or other people's mental age, as in certain aspects I'm way ahead, in certain aspects I'm way behind and in certain aspects I'm about the same as my peers. |
