I did not know parallel play was infantilized, eeek.

I'm 46 and I parallel play with my roommate as part of our normal everyday neurodivergent life. We sit at our own personal computers sleep in our own personal sleeping spaces, and .... I think of this co-existence as normal and desirable, we are both much happier in the presence of eachother, doing our own hobbies throughout the day. Autistic culture happening in here.
