I didn't check my height in a long time but I'm taller than my mother and a bit shorter than my father and I'm not done growing yet.

I thought at age 1180 you would be. At what age do you stop growing?

No, Autism doesn't affect height (before even reading the first post).

I'm 5 foot 6.

My real age is 17 so I think I'd stop growing at 18-25 :lol:

Maybe you don't eat meats or drink milk or you don't sleep well or maybe it's your genetics, I noticeably grew taller by at least 1 cm one or two weeks ago that even people who see me everyday told me that I got taller lol

Yeah, this could be an issue. :| I've never had meat. I haven't had milk in ages. Tastes nice but if I ever have a tiny bit too much I feel incredibly sick and just get pain in my stomach. Animals weren't meant to continue to drink milk beyond infancy and drinking milk from other animals is even weirder. Probably has something to do with it.

But my family is pretty short on my mum's side so probably is genetic. It's not like I'm massively shorter or anything drastic. An inch shorter than my mum. Neither of my parents are very tall.

Ohh xD I'm the opposite of you- I love milk and it relaxes me xD I eat meats everyday xD
My family has tall and short people but most are tall, my parents aren't that tall too but I always hope I'll turn out tall from an ancestor's gene or something xD

5'11' and I'm the shortest male in my immediate family. Taller than all the women though by a huge margin though. I really hope there's a hidden growth spurt left in me that at least lets me grow another inch so I can be 6 foot.

I am smallest man of all my families. Most of the women tend to be smaller than me in and over my mothers generation. But my sister and cousins are either same height or taller.

My wife is also taller than me. My grandma had to complain at my wedding why she had to pick a smallest man in the family.

I have wondered if autism can be related to other birth defects and genetic differences that affect things like height. I am small, 5'1. I do however have a lot of genetic differences and birth defects, some of which they think may have contributed to me being so small when everyone else in my family is average sized.

I'm 5'5, was 5'7 but this getting old thing has taken its toll. Most males on both sides of my family are 6'0 or taller.

I'm 6 foot tall: 183 cm.

My friends are all the same size or just a little bit shorter but other than that I'm usually taller than the rest.
