Emotionally, I generally feel around 16 years old. When I'm frustrated I feel like a 6 year-old (and get told I am acting like one :?). Socially I'm not a teenager at all even but I can't assign a value to it. I guess that part's normal though..

seventeen

I don't think I have ever been older than seventeen, really. Sometimes I look in the mirror and wonder who the hell that old lady in the mirror is. Then I recognize my mother looking back at me and shudder a bit.

but one week before I ever heard about Asperger's Syndrome, I was skipping down the hall at work wondering why the other old ladies at work never included me in their gab fests and wondering why I never seemed to have 'grown up.'

yep, seventeen!

Weird flash back, I remember when I was fourteen someone I knew told me I thought like an old man when they heard me explain my dilemma with recess. Evidently I've been in retrograde since, I have the world view of a 10 year old.

I'm little different than I was when I was 6.

Except now people don't think twice about me driving a car, being intimate with other adults, or cussing!

I feel emotionally about 13.
But when I see people in my age who behave like brainless idiots, their stupid problems and parties, their lack of logic and practical sense, I feel 30. And it's easier for me to talk with people who are about 30. Excluding husband/wife-and-children topics.

I think we have this, because we have higher IQ and lower EQ than NTs. So we are logical and practical, we have great knowledge, but our emotions stopped at kid age.

Intellectually, I definitely feel older than others my age. I am chronologically fifteen.

Emotionally...eh. I find myself unable to see the connection between emotion and age. How do one's emotions change as they get older? I don't remember my youth, so I've not got much to compare with.

Emotionally, early 20s, I guess (I'm in my 40s), mentally my own age, and I really don't feel different physically than I did in my 20s.

Chronological age: 22
Physical Age: I'm very young looking, and have gotten anywhere from 14-20.
Emotional Age: 13-14.
Intellectual Age: have gotten anywhere from 25-35...which explains why I tend to have many older friends.

My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.

I think I have the emotional age of a kid. Around 11 but i'm not really sure. Intellectually I think i'm at the same level as other people my age.

I feel like I'm 12. Yet, at the same time, I feel like an eighty year old grandma. So weird to look so young and feel so...archaic. But, hey, you're not alone. :D

Aren't you still in your youth?
