8O Yes! I look 16 and am young emotionally, but I used to interact on a more equal level with my teachers, and now with staff members in my group home than with younger people (my age).

Yes. I feel like I'm in my 50's because of my interests and the way I think. It's like I know so much more than a 17 year old is supposed to know and I think about so much more than anyone my age. However I also feel like I'm only 8 because of my lack of social achievements.
