Ok this is something you will likely all laugh yourself silly over!. I have a vast space ship collection!. I mean 30 of them!. I keep them all in a front bedroom I never use for sleeping!. In that room I lay on the captains bed and pretend they are flying through space and having battles or hardships!. I stage rescues and everything!. I enact little stories!.

What's worse I have an autistic friend who is like 6 feet 8 inches tall and weighs like 360 pounds!. He plays with my space ships too!. However he loves to play with his Thomas the Tank Engine toys and army men!. When we play together we use all the toys to develop really imaginative story lines!.

We are both in our late 40's!. Just because you are an adult does not mean you can no longer play!. I am autistic and when I like something I do it!. Why should I conform to what others consider play when it does not excite me!. If you can never allow yourself to play no wonder so many so called normal adults are depressed!. I am true to myself in all things!.

I like playing with my space ships because, when I do all the stress of a hellish day melt away!. I do not mind if others play in the ways that make them happy and all I demand is the same respect for my way of unwinding after a hard day at the office!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't see anything wrong with it, but then I also do it!. There are some books that are just that good!. I don't need something bad to happen though, but like the other person said, for you it could just be a feeling of comfort or reassurance!. I think some kids' books are just more imaginative and interesting than some adults' books!. I've also gone back and read some that are classics that I just never read as a kid!.

I think you're just fine!. And hey, it's better than stress eating, drinking or shooting heroin so don't worry about it!Www@Answer-Health@Com

People often feel comforted by things that they did in their childhood, or that remind them of their childhood!. I know people who watch cartoons that they watched as a child, and comfort food is actually described as food that comforted us growing up! People do all kinds of things like what you do, and there's nothing wrong with it!. As long as you're not wearing diapers and sucking your thumb!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think it's good that you have something that is comforting to you, and you should continue to read these, and maybe even try writing one yourself!Www@Answer-Health@Com
