According to Tony Attwood's book The Complete Guide To Asperger's Syndrome, we typically have an emotional maturity of approximately 2/3rds our chronological age.
So, I'm 32 & that makes it perfectly normal for me to feel like a 21 year old. Sometimes I do, other times I feel my age or older and think others are immature. But I never feel like a 12 year old child, no. I am definitely a lot more mature than that, and smarter than the typical 12yo, too.

2/3rds.. interesting, that applies to me almost exactly I think

Wow, that's right for me at least. I'm 17 almost 18 and I feel 11-12 or there about. 12/18 is exactly 2/3, weird.
I'd also like to share that I felt the 2/3rds emotional maturity rule applied to me when I read the book 2 1/2 years ago, but that since treating myself via diet/probiotics etc over the last year and a half I feel like I've also matured significantly - pretty well catching up to my chronological peers. I still have some forever-young personality traits w/ my sense of humour etc & I'm ok with that, but I no longer feel like I'm 2/3rds the emotional maturity of my age. More like at least ~90%, mmmmaybe even all the way there depending on which 32 year olds I'm hanging around.
