What is wrong with him?

So my partner, thinks my sons room is right for a teenager. My ds is 14, he has a load of soft toys, but has other toys too. My partner is going on about sorting ds room out, and basically if he had it his way getting rid of all his toys, including the lego and just leaving my son with his bed, bookcase and Chester draws.
This is horrible in my eyes and leaves me wondering, how fuxxed up was my partner's child hood.
Sure we could scale back on the soft toys, but most years we have clear out of toys, near Christmas.
When I moved house with my parents at 20,i still had some child hood toys, Care bears and trolls. But I made the decision to get rid of them myself. I guess my mum probably cleared out some of my toys when I was younger. But she didn't take them all away and say grow up, you are a teenager now, act like it.
I just don't get why my partner thinks my son is too child like. He has been obssed about him not doing normal things, like going on a roller-coaster at 10, my partner did at this age, so my son should, he always goes, well I was doing stuff like that at his age, I have pointed out, that our son isn't his dad, we all develop at our own pace.

It’s not B&Q it’s Wickes -

One of the few adverts I find endearing -

I think my DS might be a bit like this - he's not very mature for his age and has ADHD. At 10 and in Y6 he still really loves his soft toys and that's lovely I think, and his mates don't seem to have an issue with the teddies when they're over.
