What is 1/3 of 25? I do fail at math...
1/3 of 25 is 8 and 1/3 (=8 years and 4 months). However you might find my theory of 2/3 age more accurate. 2/3 of 25 is 16 and 2/3 (16 years 8 months) - it explains why you are more like a teenager than an adult or kid. 1/3 might be accurate for low functioning auties (I believe someone with severe autism might behave like an 8 year old at age 25) but not those with HFA/Asperger.
I am almost 27 now(3 more months) and I certainly feel like I am reaching "adulthood age" soon(2/3 of 27 is 18). I am starting to think about finding a job and moving out of parents house. My clothing style also begins to change to a bit more mature - I feel ashamed when I go out wearing my used-to-be-favorite tank top with a skull design.
And what's most important - people I met for the first time tend to ask me "When are you having your 18th birthday?" and "What university you want to choose?" now instead of the previous: "What middle school are you attending? Or you started a high school already?" (they reaction when I answered "Actually I am 24 and finished an University." was priceless, lol).
So it's getting good.
