Beautiful aspies

Post Reply New Topic

I consider myself to be a relatively attractive aspie; probably a 6 or 7 out of 10, on good days.

I think I look pretty good. I people always tell me I have that little kid look.

How about me? My friend on Facebook said "Smile, girl, smile!" But I WAS smiling...

Well, I am happy with the way I am and look. If you don't like it then I could care less. I will not pretend to be beautiful for anyone sake. I think some people worry way too much about their looks. Oh my avatar is me.

I actually think this thread topic is good for discussion sociologically speaking, since the good-looking aspies' psychological condition is noticed even less, due to people being distracted by their above-average appearance. Probably attractive folks are of about the same percentage on the AS as elesewhere, or are maybe a little less common due to the fact that some factors like inability to take care of one's self do sometimes visibly affect a person. I might post a picture of myself later, but for whatever reason, I think people are less likely to immediately see me as anywhere on the spectrum because I look at least normal or not unsavory.

I don't think that I look any differnet from anyone else, expect that I'm quite skinny although I have been told I quite pretty. However I don't how if that make my possible Aspegers less noticebale coz I never notice if others do, if you see what I mean!

It can work the other way tho, My 11 year old cousin is a HF autistic and he look likes any other kid of his age but his behaviour can be less accepted by others coz he look normal.

This is me when I was more conventionally attractive:



This is me, less conventionally attractive (the hair is a wig -- worn for me, not for others -- I was bald underneath it at the time):



Note that I was always somewhat hirsute even as a kid, but I'm much more so now. Also gained a lot of weight as an adult and absolutely look in general like the slouching/twitching/whatever stereotype (of course I did then but more people gave me a pass on it because I was closer to their beauty ideal than I am now). Note that even when I was more attractive, a few people considered me attractive and a lot of other people openly called me a troll, so this is all relatively speaking. I had the breasts and thinness and everything, but I had very severe hygiene problems, and I was hairy in places that are considered weird on a girl, including a unibrow (I don't know what on earth people find so off-putting about unibrows, but they do), plus I moved and acted in ways that other people found unpleasant. The particular photo I chose above is me when more "normal" looking than, say, my default expression, which has never changed my whole life.

Yes, I've been pressured that way my whole life. For some reason I was always stubborn about it, even when my mother chased me around the house with tweezers or peroxide q-tips etc.

Oh I'm totally comfortable with how I look, it's other people that have a problem with it.
