Comments on: Being Articulate, Mature and the 2/3s ‘Rule’ http://www.asparenting.com/2010/02/28/being-articulate-mature-and-the-23s-rule/ Fri, 03 Feb 2012 02:38:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jessica http://www.asparenting.com/2010/02/28/being-articulate-mature-and-the-23s-rule/comment-page-1/#comment-211 Jessica Sun, 24 Oct 2010 23:28:31 +0000 http://www.asparenting.com/?p=281#comment-211 I'd assume from my own experiences and my interactions with others like me that it should actually be the 3/2s rule. We can have meaningful conversations with adults as little kids, we are much less likely to bully and demean our peers in primary and secondary school, we accept things when they are logical and fair, etc. Just because we have a heavier social burden upon us doesn't mean that we are less mature.

That being said, I get along great with children until they reach puberty. Perhaps that's because I became socially overwhelmed at puberty and displayed my autism in earnest.

I have to agree with you, though, that the 2/3 rule is pretty subjective. I usually tell parents that their children lag about 3 years behind, and I suppose it's possible that the lag is never made up, not that it matters once one reaches age 25 or so.
