Is it normal to be a "little"?

I'm a 25 year old male who is into what's called "ageplay", which is a sort of a subtype of BDSM where a person dresses as and behaves as a younger kid (my little self is a 10 year old boy). It's completely non-sexual, and is entirely about getting into the state of mind - watching kids movies, having Nerf battles, climbing trees, and playing with other littles (as we're known). A lot of ageplayers actually prefer even younger ages, like babies and toddlers. I personally fall into a slim minority and prefer only to play with other 9-10 year old littles (age as in their little persona, not their actual biological age). It's all about innocent fun, but some people on the outside find it disturbing.

I think the usual "professional" reasoning behind it is that most littles had abusive or neglectful childhoods, and are trying to recapture what they missed. Admittedly that is the case with me and probably a lot of others, for me it just feels like the right way to be. I am who I am.

Anyway I thought I'd see what kind of thoughts people here have. Is it normal? Do you have any opinions on the practice?

    If it is non-sexual then why lump it in with BDSM?

    It seems disturbing at first, and I don't truly get the whole thing but I understand the want to be a kid again, and I believe there healthier ways of doing it. You don't literally need to be a kid, just don't let that kid inside you fade away. I'm 20, and yes I still think its fun to have nerf battles with my younger cousins. Immature? Yes. Loads of fun? Also yes. I don't care what people think because to me it's kind of reasonable. I know I am a young adult, that part of my identity is clear. I just hope that is the same for littles.

    You're the oldest little boy I've heard about. I veer between being under 10 but developmentally behind (It's complicated to explain), and 14-16.

    Sounds like you have a lot of fun and I'd love to join in if a group of littles of similar 'age' had a Nerf battle or something

    Its jus my opinion .so u might nt agree in some parts....
    there's a lot of press and responsiblity for adult than for a kid.
    so, i think its like a gateway from your tensions and all
    if this makes you happy than you should carry on
    i sometimes wish i was a kid again so that i wont have to care about my assignment deadline and other stuff

    I've heard of age play. Whatever floats your boat.

    Well, personally i find it uncomfortable to think about, but only because to me it sounds like legal pedophilia.
    But, i guess that's because i completely don't understand. However there is a lot of people that are interested in ageplay, so...
    As long as you and your partner are of legal age, who really cares.

    @Parrish (I tried to reply anonymously but it kept adding my username, so I'm putting it here instead)

    Just because that's just how it's usually defined, and it's easier to get the basic point across by comparing it to something more people are familiar with. Also, some littles have a top/bottom relationship with a big which would fall more into the realm of BDSM.
    There are a lot of littles out there and so of course not everyone will fit into the tidy description I provided in the opening post. I posted as it applies to me and those I socialize with. (and, as it happens, the majority out there)
