Maybe Toady added in a childish personality without us knowing, and adults can now act like children.

Maybe Toady implemented autism?

Yes. Clearly a bug that ought to be fixed in the future, but exploit it in the meantime.

More proof that Dwarf Fortress is dangerously close to sentient A.I. The children have imaginations.

Except that that's not what autism is.

Elves do it in trees. Humans do it in wooden structures. Dwarves? Dwarves do it underground. With magma.

Maybe the child reached the age of 10 in world gen, and then somehow ten in-game years have gone by due to forts and adventurers? I don't think world-gen children can grow up.

Well, that would explain it.  He was 11 and a child when worldgen stopped, and it hasn't updated his status since.

Stove has created The Consequences of Biting, a legendary MSPaint engraving. It is studded with pixels, encrusted with pixels, and menaces with spikes of pixels and hanging rings of pixels. On the item is an image of SOME SERIOUS SHIT.

You need to keep coming back to the town for a hundred years, so you can see him die of old age.
