Hiya, my name is Jordan and I'm 19 years old and I have OCD and Aspergers. I wanted some support from other members that post on this forum because my parents don't understand my condition and all of my friends except my girlfriend call me weird. Basically, I like a lot of things that little children would like. I'm very childlike. For example, I love dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals and I don't consider them to be childlike but I like a lot of child related things such as toys and books. I also love wildlife and I like collecting soft animal toys and I like to read older children's dinosaur and animal books. I'm also looked down upon by people for saying childish words in sentences like 'I have a poorly tummy'. I recently asked my parents if I could decorate my bedroom and when I showed them the wallpaper I wanted, dinosaur wallpaper, they told me to stop being a baby and to grow up. Obviously I'm not all childlike, only in some subjects but what do you guys think, is anyone else like me?
