Aspie looking ounger, physical evidence that AS is real?

Ixtli, are you from Newfoundland? Because you know how some of us Canadians like to make fun of "Newfies" (I'd be making fun of the girls though, not you).

There might be something to this. I am 28 but I look 17-18. Funny that you bring this up.

DNA testing cannot be that far away.

I'm 20 but still wear clothes for 10-12 year olds! People think that I am about 11 or 12 on average. I have got very soft features and big eyes so that might have something to do with it I guess... As for whether it's a possible marker for AS... have no Idea...

I think, and I've been told I look younger, but not by much. I'm 19, and I'd say I look 17.

Fascinating. Maybe it's the refusal to grow and get all "mature".

I definitely look younger - at least 10 years.

Part of it is I am obsessed with skin care. Like super obsessed. One of my "good" obsessions. All aspies should consider getting obsessed with skin care.

And I always wear sunglasses so I don't squint.

But mostly its the completely lack of maturity. Lot's of Spongebob and Family Guy and other teenager obsessions!! !

Is it really just me who looks a hell of a lot older? All of my life I've been twelve and people thought I was fourteen or fourteen and they thought I was sixteen or seventeen and I looked 21...

Now I feel even more of an outcast. I'm an outcast amongst outcasts.

Hey, don't worry bout that. One of my support worker's sons is autistic. He is 10 years old but looks about 13/14! No baby features there!
