Hi:
I ran into a woman who works in another department which is two floors down below mine who works with another former friend of mine who is also on the spectrum. I asked her how he was doing and she proceeded to tell me about how he's "Like a big kid with his humor and his superheroes and that it's cute that he's writing a novel." When I talked to her, it sounded very phony.

Some people are being phony and some peoples mannerism and 'forced' smile makes them appear phony.
I agree that calling people cute or a big kid tends to be a mix of affection and condescension. I work with a lady on the spectrum who calls our boss cute for a number of reasons.
Some people are big kids and I'm one of them

At least now I can see the mistakes, and try to rectify them.
My mother doesn't really think I'm "solid." She thinks I'm sort of the type that doesn't assert himself. And that I assert myself in the wrong places.

Mothers frequently never see their offspring as grown up.

Somehow this seems pretty true considering most parents generally always see their adult children as "children" and even more so if that adult child is autistic
