Like many Aspies my friends say I look 20 years younger than my chronological age. Some of this is because I'm short, thin, and wear size 2 petite clothes. But, I also have great skin tone with few wrinkles. They tell me I could pass for my 20s if if I dyed my hair. It is much better being my age than when I was younger. I look old enough to have enough experience to have something to say that is worth listening to.

Keep a bottle of Windex on hand so they stay shiny.

Wouldn’t be young again unless I could take my 58 year old brain with me.

You never feel as old as you look, I think that applies to everyone. I still feel like I'm 20 or so, when I'm chronologically 54.

Most people think I'm 34 however, which sounds nice but it's getting a bit embarrassing, as I get treated as if I'm a silly young girl, and no one believes I'm 54. I hope my hair goes grey soon.

They think 34 year old women are "silly young girls"?
That's really scary but somehow I'm not surprised.

Yes, these are older women who see me as a young girl. Or they are just rude. Most women seem to be rude to me :roll:

There are so many old people in Britain now, the average age is just getting older.

I may still be too silly young girl to answer this topic. :lol: .
However, my sister started having grey hair when she was 32 years old … I don't have any yet at my 35.
When I was 30 years old, two psychiatrists thought I was 19 years old.

I don't know if my wrinkles would say nice things about me because I've been very unhappy in my life.
I find some women really beautiful with their smile lines.

Yes my husband started going grey when he was 17...he's 3 years young than me and now he's 52, his hair is completely white while mine is still dark brown. Now people think he's my much-older husband :lol: :lol:

Is it recent? I thought that this is one of the same ones you’ve been using for years. I could be wrong about that, I suppose.

I'd love to see a new picture of you with your bus, or pictures of your uniform.
I asked once before but maybe you didn't see that.
I think uniforms are pretty cool, assuming of course they're comfortable.

I'm 46 and have a few wrinkles. I'm fat, but that's not due to age, unfortunately medication has slowed my metabolism right down. My best feature is my hair, which is a deep reddish brown. Lately I've noticed a few silvers popping up, but only on my left side which is odd.

I've noticed I'm less able to put up with sensory issues, for instance a baby was crying in the shop I went to for groceries. I had to leave and wait in the car until mother and baby left to go and get things.

My hair is almost white underneath the dye. It started going that way in my late teens/early 20s. I kind of like it but I've not got the patience to grow the dye out so I just keep dying it.

I can tell that you're about 50ish Caz but you're looking really well for it. You still have a youthful glow.
