Too Dumb to Be a Cop

That's unpossible.

I my experience, the oldest child is forced to mature faster by being required to perform childcare duties, especially in families with many children.

Younger siblings basically "get to be a kid" longer than older ones.

This is unfair to both older and younger siblings for a myriad of reasons, but both are a failure of parenting, and society as a whole. The parents should not be forcing the dynamic, and society should not be putting parents in a position where they feel they have to.

As for "feeling immature" as an adult... That is entirely dependent on what you measure maturity by. My wife and I sing nonsense tunes at each other, sometimes just look up and go "QUACK!" for no reason. We have gone to a playground to go swinging. We have gone outside to play in the snow.

I didn't get my first job without my mother's help until 20. I didn't get my license until 26. I didn't get my first full time job until 33. I absolutely hate going to a store at all, let alone by myself. Although if I'm being honest I would rather go by myself since it's faster and less chance of my wife grabbing 10 extra things because we passed the aisle and she went something snack-y.

Remember, "Autism Spectrum Disorder" is, as the name implies, a spectrum. As such everyone is on it. Most people are gathered in a general area area (the people who would be considered "normal" by someone who has a more traditional old way of thinking) I personally believe I'm a little further toward the "autism" side, based on a bunch of comparing my personal experience with others who are diagnosed. I don't believe it's that big a deal for me, as I am fully capable of functioning on my own as an adult.

A bit of armchair psychology, I'd wager you're a bit like my wife and due to narcissistic and withholding parents you likely need more reassurance than the average person. This isn't a failure on your part at all, and it's not a "developmental disability" it's just a bit of childhood trauma.

To answer more directly:

In my opinion, yes eldest siblings often mature faster. Feeling immature is probably normal, and maturity is a pretty vague notion in general. ASD in general isn't as big a deal as many people think. If you'll forgive me for saying so, your family kind of sucks.

If it had been a "violent riot", the murderers would have never left the street alive.

Gotta shift those goalposts.

I'm sure if we ever manage to organize a national, indefinite strike, there will still be people like this saying it's not real action so it's irrelevant.

Some people won't be happy until they see bodies of dead Americans in a bloody civil war, but they just don't have the courage to come out and say it.

Their funds are as deep as the administration feels like they are. Probably up to and including armed robbery of citizens at gunpoint if things keep going. Think "nazis ripping fillings out" type of "we need to fund ICE"

Yes, our taxes are paying for repairs.

Now now, let's not pretend that you'll go straight to jail.

First they audit you for two years, combing through every single thing while causing constant stress, and then you go to jail.

Because you didn't keep that receipt from the Amish store where you got snacks on a road trip.

"but whatabout..."

 

Which iconic sound is your favorite?

Personally I like the ambient sound of the daedalus in hyperspace.

The sound of a Zat is a close second.

 

No wrong answers. (there IS a right answer though)

 
 

They aren't around anymore as of this morning, but they liked the hoodie and hat and I thought someone might like to see two doggos.

They were both good girls and I miss them.
