I'm an 18 year old with aspergers and even though i'm at that age now where i'm officially an adult ( at least legally, chronologically, and physically ) i've been thinking for a while now that i actually relate to kids more than i do to adults and people in my age group. For example whenever i'm with a group of adults and especially teenagers i always hang out nervously and quietly in the background and don't contribute much to the conversations, but when i talk to my 6 and 8 year old cousins i do a way better job at talking to them than i do to most teens/adults. A couple reasons why i think i can relate to kids more is because when i'm around older people i always worry about them judging me or noticing that something's off about me, but kids don't know better so when i'm around kids i can be myself and don't have to be nervous or worry about being judged by them because they don't take notice of how different i am. I think it's also because i have a very kid-like personality and can put myself in a kid's shoes when i'm around one. I don't think i could ever have kids of my own because of how difficult they are to raise and i don't want them to be born with a form of autism like me, but i can see myself working with them in the future. Do any of you other aspies feel this way?
