If you just saw me on the street, how old would you guess I am? I understand that people on the spectrum generally look younger than they are but I think my self image is a bit skewed so I have to get other peoples opinions.

Early twenties?

Some of the pictures of the people on this forum are totally endearing and this is one of them.

lol, it must be how I act then. I'm 26 but the first people everyone says when I tell them that is "you don't look it".

I say suspect number one looks early 30's for an austistic person. Mid 20's for a NT. Autistic people age better than NTs Black people say they age better than whites so they say "Black don't crack" so I guess autistics can say "Whacky no cracky!"

Yay, close enough!

I know it says my age on the left but can anybody tell me if I look my age or if I look younger or older. I'm 25 years old and I'm the girl on the right. It's my most recent photo...

OP, I'd guess around 20-25. The slightly receding hairline is the only clue for age, and I've seen that on teenagers.

The girl in the blurry picture looks mid-twenties.

It's probably a combination of the nerves, social cues, walk, dress sense and hygiene and a whole bunch of other things that give off a sense of being much younger.

There are no physiological differences..

I was going to go with 30. Sorry.

If you want you can also call me a dinosaur. My avatar picture is a picture of me. So go ahead.
