When are you supposed to grow up? Does it happen naturally or do you have to work at it, like dance?

- You have to ask the elders of the tribe.
- But doctor, I'm the elder of the tribe.
@TheBreadmonkey it's when all your potential collapse into one actual fig. Sometimes no actual figs.
Is it something you grow into
Is it thrust upon you
Do you want it
Is it necessary
Tune in tomorrow 😆
@TheBreadmonkey we have seen people in all walks of life, including some with significant structural power, and as far as we can tell there is not a single adult anywhere in the world.
it isn't a thing you become or are. it's, at best, a thing you do, and it takes active effort the whole time, and nobody can do it all the time.

In my experience, those who are on the spectrum retain their childlike qualities, in the best possible way, into adulthood more so than neurotypicals do.
I think it's an achievement, I think, to stay soft and full of wonder and curiosity in a world that remorselessly seeks to make you hard, cynical and misanthropic.
