The idea of set behavior for a given age is just stereotypical nonsense. We all learn things at our own pace based on when we encounter life enriching scenarios. See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar, waitin' for his turn to die.

Perhaps, but they have found actual physiological differences in the brain which show that the Autistic brain is actually emotionally younger than its NT counterpart.

I think it makes sense that your brain doesn't fundamentally change when getting older.
However,
1/ we are losing some neurons every day (and more if we are not intellectually active) - that has an impact on age
2/ a part of our behaviour must change with time. Indeed, a child has more time in its hands than an old person - that impacts every day activity, projects. By the way, makes me think that Asperger tend to have less notion of time passing by, so maybe "younger brain" (just hypothetic link)
3/ we use a little percentage of our brain and when one part becomes sick, the brain is able to compensate with other parts, this is amazing!
...our brain still has a lot to understand about itself

I would say that I have a very young mind. I get very excited over simple things, still play with and carry around toys, enjoy kids' shows, and have a generally youthful personality. I also look much younger than I am. I'm in my twenties, yet I regularly get mistaken for a boy in his younger teens.
This must be annoying when you are 20 to look like a boy although you have the maturity.
It was the same for me, but now that i am 36, i am quite glad to look much younger
The child and the adult is the SAME person.
The only difference is that the adult is conditioned by social rules and has acquired experience and knowledges.

Really? It sounds very much contradictory to say the brain gets "younger" when it gets "older"...
In this case "younger" would then mean "older".
