I feel like I'm around 22, though I'm (almost) 13

I remember being a kid in elementary school and already having been through so many major life experiences - some good, most bad - that I couldn't imagine becoming an adult because my brain would be "too full" of memories and the feelings they caused. I am now in my late twenties and can confirm that my (as we now know: autistic) brain is indeed "full" enough to interfere with day to day life despite several stints of therapy over the years - and major life experiences keep happening too, adding to the whole mess. When people first meet me they often assume I'm in my forties or even fifties. Heck, *I* often forget how old I am and can only figure it out by calculating from my birth year when that happens

Considering I've had arthritis and gray hair since my teenage years, I've been using a walker for about 6 years. I'm menopausal and getting cataract surgery next month, I feel like I'm 70. I'm much younger than that, though (by a few decades) but apparently my life goals are being the youngest person most of my doctors have seen with my "old person" issues. Not the youngest on record but most doctors assume my age is wrong before they see me. 

i definitely still got a kindergarten heart! 🧸🥰

Body 80
Brain 15( i’m autistic and sometimes I feel so stupid)
Real age 29

BuzzFeed my birthday is in three days(turning 13)! I feel 17 though, why, I don't know.

I think it depends on the day...but a lot of times I truly feel like a 3 year old eating applesauce and talking its head off about something about unicorns.
