I think he pretty clearly is?

  The title is a little bit click-baity, but also understandable when you've done (or rather: had to do) that sort of work on your own; the dirty practical side is that you're both a child and adult at the same time, and all the conflicts and discrepancies that stem from this fact are yours to suffer from and resolve. There's both the need to tend to the needs of a 36-year-old person that physically and mentally exists, but there's also the need to tend to all the emotional needs of the person who was stunted and prevented from proper emotional growth. This can make for some really big discrepancies in practice, as described in the article, and results in additional trobule when you need to explain the matter to other people who have not encountered that sort of developmental issues in their lives. Which, I assume, this article attempts at, and for that, as someone who travelled that path on his own, I'm deeply glad.
