Theres a ton of threads talking about how aspies are mistaken for being younger then their actual age. And I realized that this has a lot to do with us dressing and acting younger other then strictly physical apperance. I just started a new job working at the market and I think my coworkers and customers think Im still in highschool and Im 22. I do find it somewhat complementary that I always get mistaken for younger but I realized its largely because of the way I act and dress. I come across to adults like a highschooler and I dress like a 15/16 yr old.
NOT in MY case! I have NEVER dressed younger than I am. Today, I often dress like everyone else. I have never ACTED young either, and have been told that.
BESIDES, HOW does a 35 yo act or dress younger than a 50 year old anyway?
