I have always been infantile and childish as person with Autism.longallsboy said:There seems to be a lot of people with Autism who are adult babies. I don't exactly qualify as an adult baby because I don't wear diapers although I've been told there are adult babies that don't wear diapers, although it would be more unusual. I do have a lot of childlike / childish inclinations and interests. I also have Classic Autism - and also ADHD. I just wonder if being Autistic predisposes people to become adult babies. I've also known of other people who are adult babies (both Autistic and not Autistic) who became that way because they were bullied so much in school from elementary school to high school and even in college or university. I got bullied badly by others most of my life. I never really got along well with people my age (especially in the teen years and college years) because they kept bullying me, and that drove me away from them and actually resulted in me playing with and being friends with young children (although I did have elderly friends like grandparent like figures and old college instructors). I think I might have hung around toddlers and preschoolers too much and that did nothing to help my mind mature. I think bullying can also make victims "regress" and end up becoming more like a child as well. Could there be more Autistic people who are adult babies as a percentage of Autistic people as a whole, because we get bullied so much?? I think the answer may be, sadly, yes. Also, the elderly psychiatrist who diagnosed me with Autism many years ago (he passed away 2 years ago at age 89) mentioned to me that a lot of Autistic people have friends in the age extremes - which means young children or elderly people - because they generally aren't as judgmental and are more accepting at that age. He also told me a reason for that may be because the age extremes are the closest to God you can get. What he meant was that toddlers just came from God, and elderly people are going back to God soon. So they tend to be more understanding, as God is supposed to be more understanding and accepting. And I guess usually developmentally disabled people who function emotionally and socially or intellectually like preschoolers are also like that. Like those with Down Syndrome and those with more moderate Classic Autism like me (more severe than those who have much higher functioning Autism, or what used to be called Asperger's). Considering how I have been bullied all my life, I'm actually quite forgiving, but I think I got bullied too much so it affected my mental health, and social and emotional age.
Do you think Autistic people tend to be more in the adult baby realm because they are bullied? The number of adult babies I see who have Autism is rather alarming. I would say Autistic people make up 1-2% of the world population as a whole, but there is definitely overrepresentation among Autistics in the adult baby community.
I don't wear diapers, but I like children's cartoons, children's clothing that is more traditional like longalls / jon jons, T strap shoes / Mary Janes, pacifiers, kiddie amusement park rides, playing tag, and many other things.

I never outgrew my love for plushies and children's toys.
I only get along with other elderly adults or young children.
I can not go anywhere without a soft plushie.
I have many soft plushies.
I hug them all day long.
Every Saturday Morning I watch cartoons, despite the fact that the Saturday Morning cartoons got kicked off the old major broadcast networks many years ago.
