I have. I had much more fun and was much happier back then, before I realized how cruel mainstream society was.

The maturation processes for large portions of my brain stalled at about age 13. I think it's a large part of why I find it so difficult to keep my bearings in mainstream society.

But yes, I often wish I could spend my days eyes closed against the sun, swinging back and forth on a swingset, and jumping plywood ramps on my Schwinn Stingray, with no more to worry about than how to talk my Mom into giving me a handful of change for candy and Wacky Pack stickers. :batman:

Many many times. It was much easier then. No worries except getting your mom to do whatever it was you wanted. Mostly money to buy something, like ice cream :)

Yes, definitely! I loved being able to fit into small spaces, and being able to hide so easily. A big world is so much better than the undersized world I live in now that I am bigger. I can't fit into a basket anymore. :cry:

Pretty much ever since I was a little kid.

Only if I had a chance to experience a "normal" life or at least understand who I am a lot sooner. Otherwise no.

No. I'm probably happier than I've ever been.

NO...I hated being a kid and having every one else tell me what t eat, what clothes to wear, interupting me every 5 min to go do something just because they didn't see the importance of what I was doing. The older I get and the more freedom I get to be myself..the better life gets. Work sucks but at least I have freedom during the other 40 hours of my week to do what I like.

Sometimes... but I don't think i could cope with people bossing me around, or not being able to watch 18 horror movies.

I can't wait until I'm old: I'm going to be a dotty old woman who wears purple!

No never. I was never allowed to have a say in anything because I was a child. Life changed for the better when I turned 18.

No, no, no, a thousand times no! Children have no power, no voice, no say. They are subject to the whims of others. They are told what to think, what to say, what to do, where to go. No, I would much rather be an adult.

Yes because things were better back then even though our technology is better now than it was in the early 90's but I was still a happy child. You can't miss what you've never had.

I didn't have to worry about getting a relationship, I didn't have to pay bills, my parents bought everything for me, I didn't have to work. My job was school and coming home. Nothing to pay for and the fact I lived in a house in Washington. Also I got to play on the McDonald toy equipment, get to do things I can't do now 'cause I'm too old. :(
