Do you feel like a child locked inside an adult body?

Eh, I don't know.

I play video games still, and quite honestly I'd rather be doing that than gonig out be being social and consuming alcohol like most people my age. But I have a job, 2 cars, and I pay rent. Sometimes it feels like I should still be in high school.

I mean, honestly I still eat nothing but junk food, don't really take care of facial hair like a normal person should (i mean it doesn't look like TOTAL crap, but i'm not clean shaven 24/7) and there's alot of other things a 20 year old should be doing, I suppose.

I'm happy to be alive, though. I also have a larger brain than the rest of my family, due to autism. It's not really anything to brag about, but it's still an advantage.

I still call my parents mommy and daddy. So does my brother though. And so do my twin cousins (when calling their parents) who are turning 25 this year. I don't think its that weird to call one's parents by those words.

My emotions are still like 13-15 y.o. and 35 y.o. in the same time.
I'd like to jump and smile like Björk does, but I have tall body looking more like xxx movies than cartoons.
I'm Aspie teen locked in body of Oktoberfest waitress. OMG.

I also call my parents mummy and daddy. My brother and sister who are 10 and 7 usually say mum and dad.

Depends. I still enjoy watching children's programmes and drawing with felt pens occasionally, and I'm still quite a picky eater, and sometimes when I'm in the supermarket or town centre alone I feel like a lost child. But there are other times when I feel much older than 16, like when I have conversations with adults. They tell me I'm very philosophical for my age. I also felt older than my peers at school when they were talking and laughing about sex, to which I just said,
"Sex is part of life, if it wasn't for sex you wouldn't be here".

Absolutely! Although I like being a teen/young adult more, as I can still understand and enjoy (very very much-like) the humour of kids shows like Spongebob Squarepants, etc., as well as the adult humour in movies and stand-up comedy shows.

I love being a teen.

Oh I'm so happy I'm not the only adult who still calls their parents mommy and daddy! That makes me feel better about myself.
