(+) Yeah! (+)

Definitely. I'm pretty sure I'm too old to do American Idol at this point.

Not really. Im too old to join certain military divisions, though I have no intention of doing so. Oh, also homeownership unless they decrease the prices.

According to my ex, who is a pediatric speech pathologist, some people just "grow out" of autism.

Your ex is a terrible pediatric speech pathologist and directly contradicts the DSM.

I'm not contesting the initial statement, but the DSM is a joke.

You would have regretted joining.

Yeah its tough but the benefits are worth it

Nope I'm 32 and I went to school to follow my passion now.

Quit my full-time job and moved out also on my own, thankfully I saved and invested my earnings these past couple of years.

I'm much happier now honestly.

I will say that the interpersonal skills can be improved so much that the "symptoms" no longer appear to meet the threshold to be diagnosed.

If you still can you should. Its honestly pathetically easy. The money and benefits I got for life was worth it

I know. I have been doing it for years, but it does slowly become more natural with the constant practice. And I don't mask around my fiance and she accepts me as I am.

I'm now too old to bungee jump, ride amusement park rides, or use one of those waist-belt vibrating machines.

If I do it, I'll end up suffering a stroke. At least, that's what the doctors say.

Getting married, getting an education, getting a career, getting a good social life, or getting something else?

What do you think? Is there a window?

I will say this. It's never too late for any cemen to go back to school and find a good career. Also social life.

But marriage and relationships get harder to get into as you age if you inexperienced.

Because many do

Is it time for the test?

Kinda running out of time on having a kid

It's too late for me to join the 27 Club

Who has said experience doesn't matter? Of course it does. Being inexperienced makes it harder, but it isn't an insurmountable barrier. I have two real life friends who lost their virginity in their 30s.

But do they say it doesn't matter or to not let that be deterrent to trying? Big difference. I have never seen someone flat out say the former, but plenty say something related to the latter.
