But there are also things that tend to come naturally to teenagers that are very difficult for people with asperger's, like the complex social interaction that many teenagers have. And in some ways people with asperger's can seem more mature than others in their age group. I feel like I never really was a teenager and never knew how to be, but now I'm in my 40s and have a professional job and my children are teens and one is twenty, and it feels like time for me to do some of the things I missed as a teen. Everybody is different though.l
