No, of course not. We know of no adult infants. It is just a natural conclusion from a speculative "What IF?" I agree, it might indeed make an interesting story.
well of course these are actually real adults, and just being termed "adult infants," i guess there is even a sexual sub-culture, etc. some are intentional, some are just called that as a slur, etc.
What thesis??? Your plot line??? The indisputable FACT is that an infant has NO SELF-CONTROL. That makes it an obvious and natural conclusion that IF an infant somehow had the physical and intellectual capabilities of a full adult, it would be extremely dangerous indeed!!! There is no thesis. It is simply a fact about the status of an infant's ability for self-control.

Then my daughter was a freak too, because she told me she remembered an incident from when she was under 18 months old and described the room she was in and the furniture placement perfectly. That's maybe not an infant by the standards you mean, but I never met anyone else who could remember that far back. Peace
Wrong. Lack of self-control in an infant is not remotely fictional. I will allow that your particular fictional plot line based on that FACT may be yours, but the fact and its speculative implications are NOT!

10 mnths, old still remember the room, furniture placement and all. My granddad was cheering me on to walk to him. Using the desk in the formal to brace myself i took my first steps toward him.
It's awesome to hear I am not the only person to have early memories.

While unusual, it is not a sign of capacity for self-control. My mother tried to breastfeed but stopped after a month or so because it hurt too much. I have a vivid visual memory of breastfeeding so It must have been very early indeed.
