Any Aspies tall for their age?

Post Reply New Topic

Not me. I don't think I'll be growing much more. I'm 5'8" on a good day in shoes. I'm taller a lot of my other male relatives on my mom's side(I always joke that they're hobbits) and my brothers at least. I was a small child most my life but I grew early so there was a short amount of time that I was normal size when I was like 11.

Well, being tall is common in my family. My father is 6'4", my brother is 6'2". I'm 5'9" myself, towering over my poor mother (a short 5'2"). All my uncles/aunts on my father's side are 5'9" or more. My father hits his head on the tops of doors all the time. It's damn funny.

Above average for my age throughout my life, yeah. I'll just say I'm 6'1" [via rounding down], which is above average for an adult male.

Whilst it's only an anecdote, all of the young adult males at Attwood's [who were there with their mother usually] were often around my height. None were of the big build make though, unlike those with LFA/HFA I've seen (as I said, an anecdote).

I was always short for my age...

I don't know... how tall should a 65-year-old be?

I'm 14 yrs. old and my height is 5"1' w/c for me is just a normal height
My dad is 5"6' tall while my mom is 5"0'
I don't really care much about my height

There are worse things to be addicted to... like comic book message boards.


Me, I was never tall for my age. At 7, I was about 4'2", at 10, I was 4'9", at 14 I was perhaps 5 foot, and now I'm 5'10". In the Netherlands, that's even smaller relatively speaking, because the average height is over 6 foot here. I'm about the same height as my mother; perhaps it's the Chinese genes that have kept me smaller than the average.

Nope, I'm quite short. I'm 5'4", my mum is 4'11" and my dad is 5'8" so I'm inbetween them really. Most of my mums side are around 5'

I've always been tall for my age. I was 5'6 at 13 and now I'm 5'10 fully grown (I'm female)
My son is also very tall for his age. He's 3'11 at 3.5
But we also have very tall people in our family.

Yes.
I was over 6 foot by my teens. 6'4" now, and I've thoroughly stopped growing, thankfully.
I was always the tallest kid in class when I was younger.
I've heard before that many aspie males become "gentle giants".

I'm slightly above average at 6ft (183cm), but it seems to be a genetic thing. I have two "full" brothers (one two years older, one two years younger), and they are both in the same height range.

At 46 I'm still 6'3'', which I suppose is somewhat tall. But seriously, in nineth grade, I was 5'2"; four years later when I joined the Navy I was 6'1 1/2". I didn't level off at 6'3" untill I was 23.

...but you've reached the age at which we start to shrink... I've lost 1-1/2 inches so far, my older brother much more than that

Gee, thanks ed! I'm allready requiring the "super granny" glasses. Even your name suggests a topic I'd rather not think about. If you must know, I'm vociferiously atempting to remain in denial. (grin)

My Dad was 6'6" and lost an inch prior to his passing at 67.

I'm a 14 year old, 5'8'' female.

14 and 5'8. Damn I'm jealous. I was hyper-tall in early adolescence...now I'm freaking tiny...ok, 5'7, but I feel tiny.
