Mother always spoke to us children AS IF we were adults.
Mother always spoke to us children LIKE we were adults.
Mother always spoke to us children AS THOUGH we were adults.
~
The meaning is that Mother spoke to us not like she was speaking to children, but she spoke to us in the same was as an adult.
You cannot use "although" here, it is completely the wrong meaning.
To use although you would have to use it like this, to have the same meaning:
Although we were children Mother always spoke to us like adults.
~
ALTHOUGH
conj.
Regardless of the fact that; even though.
Usage Note: As conjunctions, although and though are generally interchangeable: Although (or though) she smiled, she was angry. Although is usually placed at the beginning of its clause (as in the preceding example), whereas though may occur elsewhere and is the more common term when used to link words or phrases, as in wiser though poorer. In certain constructions, only though is acceptable: Fond though (not although) I am of sports, I'd rather not sit through another basketball game.
