Youthful AS looks

Post Reply New Topic

When I saw your photos I thought you were 19! Lucky pants.

Probably some truth in that!

Who knows. People think I'm about 14 or 15, and I'm almost 22.

i must say im a handsome fellow. i dont think my looks have changed since ive been 19

Wow!!Thanks!

I used to do this too. Now that I am only a few years away from 30, I really like the idea of looking younger than I am.

I do have some fine lines, but that is from stress etc. I think and when my depression and anxiety were really bad.

I am told I look young for my age..I definitely ACT young for my age..but I don't feel young for my age..especially when we have all these young whippersnappers in their late teens and early 20's who come around who look and act so much more mature than me.

It is weird. In some ways I have been told that I am 'mature' for my age because I am quite serious about certain things and don't get some jokes and don't want to do things like go out and get really drunk.

In other ways - I suppose socially and emotionally, I am behind for my age. I have even been told by my Dad that I am backwards for my age. He says I am like a teenager even though I am 26.

It's our childlike demeanor.

Even up to around the age of 24 my driver's license alone wouldn't suffice to buy cigs. I'd occassionally find myself having to quote my social security number to them, lol. Naturally that wasn't a problem to remember. The problem is knowing the complete card numbers and security codes to 2 credit cards. That's when AS memory is a problem!

I did get told by a cashier the other day that I didn't look 29 but more like 24 though.

My splash of gray hair gives me away but without it, I'm ageless. I look pretty much the same as I did in high school. My mom is in her fifties but she looks to be in her early forties.

I'm 20 and I look 36.

People are always telling me that I look younger than my 35 years. They always mistake me for being in my mid 20's.

I'm 42, but I've been mistaken for a high school student. People don't believe I have a Master's Degree in English.

I'm 14 and people often mistake me for a college aged person, but I always wear a hat and sunglasses, and don't dress very teen-agerly, and have a super short hairctu(shaved it all off in January!). And my interests usually bring me to places where teenagers don't go, library, used book store, old movie rental place, record store, not "myspace", etc.

I met a guy, who I'm positive was had AS or autism and he was probably somewhere from 30 to 40, but his face and mannerism made him seem way younger at times.

I'm 26 and still get carded to buy cigarettes

dunno if it's really so much an AS thing though-my bf is 30 and looks 16... but then again, he does some odd things...
