Is there a medical term or classification for late blooming maturity? I suspect to some degree we all experience this in later years-60's 70's. I'm just looking for anything that might help me be a better person and lessen the emotional difficulties I bring on myself. I looked at the symptoms of narcissism. Some of them fit especially always talking about me me me and general social awkwardness but many symptoms don't fit. Then I looked at Asperger's. A couple things here fit but most don't.

Just in the last couple years I've become more aware of how my actions affect the feelings of others and the resulting pain it brings me. I've also become more focused on my hobby's which have always been on and off things. It brings on a kind of realization that my development has been stunted all my life but now seems to be appearing at least somewhat. Is this just general immaturity or is there a term for it? Anyway in a better state I would have achieved more and experienced a lot less emotional turmoil.
