"Life stage" is rarely a useful concept. The only really valid, useful use of "life stages" is in the context of assessing children for medical or nutritional problems that can sometimes result in below-average growth/development. Children who aren't sick or injured, and are well-fed, should be allowed to grow and learn and develop at their own pace. The things that are called "life stages" for adults are actually just cultural or socioeconomic markers. You're not immature for using AAC instead of speech or for renting instead of buying your home.
