Aspies have physical characteristics!! !

Post Reply New Topic

All Aspies have a 1,5 cm wider skulls than other children. I base this on absolutely nothing at all.

Because we all know that Asperger is all about physical features don't we?

It's a miracle! I have physical characteristics! Who would have thought it!

Why don't I look like the description, than?

These types of threads pop up every so often, and funnily enough in each different one there are always different physical features mentioned, and usually I don't have any of them. It's as though some Aspies desire to be so different that they start identifying random features on their body and linking it to having Autism without any proof.

This is funny - a few months ago it said somewhere that Aspies have a smaller mouth than normal. Which one do I believe? Is it really true? It just looks completely made up. Every time I read about Down's Syndrome, it always says roughly the same physical features which you believe because there is proof and you can tell that Down's Syndrome look when you look at a person with the condition. I knew that from a very young age. But as for AS, I was never told it includes physical features, and every time I read about Autism it never mentions any physical features (except for WP), and I've met people on the Autism spectrum before and they don't physically look any different to anyone else. And besides, all the physical features mentioned here are seen in NTs too. It might just be the expression Autistics pull that could make their face seem different, not their actual physical look. I didn't look noticably different to other babies when I was a baby, like a baby with Down's Syndrome would. Nobody even knew I had AS until I started school, but that was studying behaviour, not physical appearence.

I won't be surprised if I found a thread here saying Aspies don't have a shadow or a soul or a reflection or a splash or something else like that.

hmmm... interesting study... I am not so sure about it but its still interesting.

They are also known to have inertia, except when acted upon by another force.

Well I personally have a wider mouth, a slant or almond shaped eyes and dark circles, but I also have about 10% Asian in my ethnic heritage, and I don't sleep very well, hence the dark circles.

This is caused by salicylate acid sensitivity, which I've read that 70% of those on the spectrum have.

If these characteristics were that apparent, then it would be quicker and easier to detect and diagnose Asperger's.

I have none of those characteristics the OP mindlessly listed, and I've met NTs that do have those.
