Years earlier I participated in a forum (other than WP), and when I met some of the members in real life, some said they expected me to be younger, some said the exact opposite. So, I think it is somewhat a matter of personal perception.
However, I think most of the time I come off as immature to my biological age. There is a kind of silliness I exhibit in my behaviour, possibly due to the limit of my coping mechanism, that may contribute to this. On the other hand, people who get to know me better and reach a certain level of EQ see that my IQ/EQ (or whatever) is just amazingly uneven.
I wonder if some of the quirky body movements and inappropriate facial/body expressions or lack thereof that may be attributed to autistic traits could cause a perception of childishness too.
NOT that my saying so means anything, but yea this pretty much hits the nail on the head I think
