How many of you Aspies want to be like a toddler???

Can you feel when you need to urinate or defecate, microsoft_admin? If you can't feel the urge then that is something besides severe psychological trauma, it is a physical problem of some sort. However if you can feel the urge and choose to urinate and defecate in diapers instead of a toilet because of a phobia, then I would encourage you to try some sort of systematic gradual desensitization to your phobia. I had a snake phobia which I handled in that way, but my snake phobia did not limit my life nearly as much as your toilet phobia is limiting yours. You are 18 years old and still wearing diapers because you fell into a toilet when you were two. I can't believe your psychologist condones this.

i am not an "Aspie" so to speak. i have asperger syndrome, but i do not want to subscribe to the description "Aspie". i do not like it. it is too "cute" for me. i do not like the concept of "cute" because i do not much understand it, but what i do understand about "cute" (doe eyed bambies with long eyelashes) does not apply to me.


anyway, to answer your question, i would not want to be like a "toddler".
"toddlers" "toddle", and that is an unsteady form of gait.

"toddlers" fall over often. i do not like falling over. "toddlers" are not allowed to drive. i must drive.

"toddlers" are not allowed to be unattended. i would consider it very unsatisfactory if i had to be in the presence of anyone for all my hours of the day like i was required to be when i was a small child.

i never "toddled". i was always careful and i "inched may way along". i can not remember falling over at anytime in my early childhood. i remember much from when i was 2 or 3. i do not want to be there again.

Never. My personal idea of Hell is having to be a child again.

Well, when it comes to romance, I'm so far away from being interested in it that being like a young child is the only way to describe my status. However, I have pesky reproductive-age biology to put a wrench in the gears, if you take my meaning. I wish I had infatuations like I did when I was a kid, without it denegrating into sexual desire.

I'm also helpless in general. I'm clueless and naive. I have something similar to imaginary friends. And, like kids, I'm self-centered... but not willingly.

I wish I was a young child again (2-3). Life was so much easier then because I didn't have to interact with other people.

That's ok, until you begin to realize how much more can be done/achieved with more mature mannerism and more adult-like personality. I don't mean being an outright adult all the time, you can relax, take a break sometimes, and remain a child in your heart throughout your life.


I think everybody harbors secret feelings from childhood in their hearts, including NTs. Perhaps people on the spectrum are more susceptible to this, due to being less apt socially and usually being less mature. I'd like to point out that having intense special interests does not necessarily result in childish behavior.

Believe me, I absolutely like "cute" kids (but not toddlers so much), and I've come to realize that it has to do with the same longing for lost childhood you described in your post as well as the biologically imprinted liking of the little ones. There's nothing strange or extraordinary with that. Once you understand and accept it, you can move on with your life. Of course people should appreciate the hardships you would have to endure if you decided so.


The only faithful way to help with the fears you experience is to take control of your life, no matter how hard it sounds at first. Taking perspective of your life would be prudent of you, this way you could still be a child in your heart and at the same time satisfy others around you. I'm very sorry but there's no easy way to learn how to socialize with people (NTs or not). Constant learning, counseling, practicing, repeated trial and error is inevitable. Sometimes your share will be pain and sorrow, other times feeling of achievement, relatedness, understanding, warmth, and even love that will eventually compensate you generously for the obstacles as you move along your path.

No I did not really enjoy being a child when I was one...and certainly do not think I would enjoy behaving like one now. But to each their own, I have to admit I cannot even comprehend why someone would want that...but if that is what makes you happy go for it...I mean as a rule people your age would certianly not want their computer time limited by their parents and would probably be dying to move out.

I will admit I am 22 and I am sure my intelligence is that of a typical 22 year old if not more advanced...but in some ways I feel more around somewhere between 16-18. like sometimes I feel like my maturity level might not be as high as others in my age group...I know I am not the only 22 year old that wears band shirts and considers themself a metalhead because they listen to metal music but I would say things like that are usually associated with younger people. I mean when your an adult your supposed to be trying to look more professional, and perform well at a job ect....and when your younger you don't want to because you dont want to conform....and I have that going on though I have a lot of reasonable reasons for not wanting to conform.

When I was a kid I usually suppresed any non-conformist feelings, because I was under the impression that was bad.....and I was always trying to be the mature one, so that was not something I really enjoyed and I struggled with that for quite some time and I did not have much of a life when I was actually 16-18 because I wanted to actually be myself but a lot of times only partially expressed it.....like I would wear the bad t-shirts, but at one point when I was like 16 or 17 I would hide one of the band shirts under my sweater in the morning so my mom would not see it but then everyone at school could. So yeah not sure what the deal is with that.

This thread creeps me out...
And no. I'm happy being a teenager.
