[i think defining maturity is difficult, To say that people mature later in life, well need to clarify exactly what you mean by that. A child that grows up - almost providing the emotional comfort and stability for their parents may mature faster in one area but will run the risk on missing out on others. Someone here on this link said something about people maturing later on in their 20's or 30's again, really need to understand it. Certainly life events or incidents can make you grow up or gain a better realisation on your personal situation. Could you explain to me why AS would make you mature round this age? I thought everyone on the spectrum presented differently wth different needs, I not sure how they could all suddenly 'mature' at the same age, likewise by that reasoning I am not convinced that people on the spectrum are always immature. I would certainly like to read the article they mention, would certainly give me a better understanding.

Daisy thank you for the introduction. i spent 3 years with an excellent medium who straightened me out - i learnt a lot about my pyshic side and my emotions/sense and everything else. She kind of helped me grow up and become a human being with confidence, self belief and self esteem. i personally belive the spirit world in a mutated reflection of this, though i have sat with mediums and talked with spirits who argue the opposite. I am also aware that pyschic ability is tied in with mental health. As a 17 year old i spent a year addicted to the paranormal - I learnt a lot, but lost alot of myself. As a teen my home situation meant that I caused a poltergeist affect, which was difficult, very common amongst teens in puberty and going through emtional stress. I have always been close to spirits, mediums describe me a gateway - becuase of my sleep thing I am very close to both sides of the coin. I am not a great medium though and I am quite undiscplined. When I was 17 I had a choice, grow up and be a normal teenager or follow another path. I chose socialising, girls and drink. on other words, normal teenage growing up. My sleep condition is always there and although I talk about it openingly - particualrly becuase I have suffered with my own mental health. I am not the cleverest person alive, but I am pretty much able to suss out people immediately and i can also read people - know what thye are thinking, their mood etc. if you spend a lot of time with me, it is pointless lying about yourself - I just know people. Oh I am not really special and all powerful, just have this sense. It's a side of me that those close know, yet complete strnagers don't, I live these two lives. i don't mind, I don't mind, it gives me an excellent creative streak! My sleep condition i suspect is very common - I wish someone could share it becuase in a strnage way it is an amazing experience. What about yourself, what are your experiences apart from the presence on the bed - I am going through another phase of lights watching me at night, they wake me up then rush towards me.

I am glad someone here has linked in spectrum disorders with psychic ability or experience. I am psychic myself ? this is something that has always ran on my mums side of the family, being psychic sounds very mysterious, in fact I see it as a neuro condition. I don?t discount those who can see beyond what others see or what others feel, I do myself but Id do not consider that I have anything wrong with me. The brain must be seen a radio ? a receiver ? everyone?s brain is different and tunes in at a different level. On each of those levels different things can accessed. We must accept that as human beings we all quite literally see and hear the world different, like different radio shows. I have undertook extensive research into being psychic, when I was 15 I underwent a psychic experience, which changed my life, I experienced something out of this world. It happened over a period of three years and left me questioning everything about the world and myself. I myself suffer from a sleep condition ? I have noticed here people talking about Aspergers and sensory issues. I quite often wake at night with lights above me or shapes standing around the bed. Some people say these are hallucinations and I guess on one level they must be but over time I have come to understand how my brain works. For instance when I am going to sleep, if I am really tired my brain trips over itself, subconsciously I am violently pulled forwards and I become conscious and aware, I pulled further forwards which is frightening, I am able to ear my own heartbeat. To the outside person I appear to be having a fit before I shake myself awake. Inside I am able to either slow down and stop inside my mind, in the blackness quietly meditating or I can come out of my body, drift over the bed and come back again. This is very similar to something my mum can do. I am a very creative person by nature, my frequency if you like is highly tuned and I often sense, hear or understand things without knowing. Of course medication, drugs can have an influence and Aspergers is no limit to the imagination, quite the opposite, generalising, the only area where an Aspergers person is meant to struggle is problem solving, thinking on your feet, and thinking out of the box, which I guess ties in with routine. What I am trying to advise hear is that I have lived with this all my life, I do not consider it to be Aspergers Syndrome. Although I do believe the two can be linked. Children often have heightened senses, their minds are not polluted and as their brain develops they often hear and see things. Around the age of six, I had an ongoing series of nightmares where I thought I was awake in my room and people would appear from the walls to play with me. I thought nothing of it; looking back I can see that it was just me developing. Psychic is a much overused and misunderstood term; to be psychic simply means an increase in the sense, using the 6th sense, which we had when we were intune with nature. The downside to my condition, apart from how frightening it can be, for me and those watching is the tiredness and strain it places. A night?s sleep can be ruined after an episode ? sometime not, sometimes it quite pleasant to be able to construct your own dreams. If anyone would like to further discuss sleep conditions, please feel free to PM. The psychic term for this is astral projection.
