Are autistic individuals often more childish than NT's are?

Many of us are childlike because we are emotionally much younger than our chronological ages because we have too many neurons in the limbic system of our brains and they are too small. But not many of us are childish. There is a very big difference between childlike and childish. I think what they are pointing is that that maybe you are emotionally much younger than your age or socially much younger than your age. Those things make you childlike, not childish. You should never feel bad about being Autistically childlike. It is actually a beautiful thing. I am going to be 53 next month but emotionally I am 4 and socially I am about 10-15 depending on the circumstances. This is just how my brain developed, which is kind of the definition of a developmental disability. Nothing wrong with it at all, it's just how I am was made.

i sometimes see children going into only primary school... i sympathise... having nearly finished education...

...the children are the true creators of this world and they will be the ones to change and own the world, according to their own ideals, morals and imagination... NT or ND... if they're given a chance and as long as they are not boiled down into the same tasteless broth that has been made in this country for hundreds of years, that accommodates only what this society has created to accommodate themselves and the selfish, rich few... they are the chosen ones and they can reverse our damage... let them paint the town happy...

where as for me, i developed backwards. i was adult-like when i was younger, didn't enjoy the company of adults or people my age, ever... was non-verbal til the age of four, according to mother and from then, i remember i only talked about dreams i had, details of my fantasy world and trees... to family, strangers, young, old... as i've grown older, i am becoming more child-like... for the greater good of humanity, maybe... i will never participate in sexual interaction and will always stay true to what i've always had passion for and try my best to remain open minded... thats what humanity is in general before they sell their soul to the devil... i think the child-like behaviour has arose from slowly accepting myself, particularly after i got bullied, i managed to catch up with my old self... so i'm an adult-child... woohoo... the kids are alright but the kids will grow older...
