I'm very uptight and "adult" at work and anywhere I'm not comfortable. At home... I'm not THAT childish (he says, putting his plush fish down on top of the Lego car). OK, my manner isn't very child-like, but I like playing and general silliness. I'm lucky enough to have a few friends who are the same, none of them (I think) autistic, though one is dyspraxic and another has ADHD.
It's getting more acceptable for adults not to be humourless, serious grown-ups the whole damn time. Sales of toys and games to adults for their own use must be at a record high, and nowadays we're even allowed to tell jokes that aren't mean-spirited and/or racist!

I feed and photograph and track the lives of a group of waterbirds near me, and although at first I did all this silently, and only talked to these birds when nobody was passing by, now I don't care who hears me talk to them.
I'm very fond of wild geese, but I haven't tried talking to them yet! I sometimes make snow-goose gurgles back at the snow geese, but my accent must be off or something.
