Autistic physical traits

Post Reply New Topic

The only real strange physical trait I think I have (only because others have brought it to my attention) are my eyes. They're quite sunken, wide-set, and really big, and they either stare for inappropriate lengths of time or they look away... I don't know how to do otherwise. I'd post a picture if I didn't know better. Anyways, they make enough people feel uncomfortable... hehe<insert wry laughter> blah.

I have a large head and small mouth, my hands look a bit weird too, sort of clumsy and droopy.

The corners of may mouth definitely turn down and I find it almost impossible to fake a smile. I do have to be genuinely happy to be smiling. But even then I may be just laughing or giggling instead.
I did not honestly know what smiling really meant until I was 9 as I was such a poor judge at reading peoples emotions.

I have bad psoriasis which has been linked to autism. I not only get it on my scalp but also bad on the bridge of my nose behind my ears and down the back of my neck.

Well, I don't know about the large head. I would say mine is probably average size. It PROBABLY would have stuck out in the back, and DOE stick out a bit in the front, but that is probably because I learned to read early, and would often stay up like all night reading.

As for the teeth? my bite is pretty normal, but it IS hard to smile, ESPECIALLY if I want to show my teeth, and my dentists have said I have a small mouth and big teeth.

Lighter coloration IS often caused by antibiotics, etc... Some darkening is ALSO, especially things like "colorado brown stain"(cuased by flouride).

I don't know what picture people were posting about on this thread, the link to the article doesn't work, but I have
-lower ears
-lower then usual sides of the mouth which is small and I have fat lips
-my head was very big for an infant at the time, its quite small now but very round
-got the large ribcage for sure, bothered me when I was younger
-tend to breathe through my mouth unless I'm speaking, I tend to drool at night, but sporatically
-I was very stubborn to nurse from my mother, I read somewhere that that's an indicator
-I had a gap between my top front teeth before a dental surgery, I read that's one too, and I'm prone to dental stains from any instigator, I also think my teeth are big for the size of my mouth
-the wide deep set eyes
-I think its psoriasis I get on my ankles once in a while, not sure
Does anyone else have this many supposed traits? I feel like a freak.......then again I'm used to that......I also seem to have many traits, or have had, or am developing many different traitsfrom most or all the different 'AS personality types' list on aspiesforfreedom......this is sort of upsetting to me.

Which of these five children has the big head?

The baby's head seems rather large.

People tell me that I look English, or distinguished.

What do you think?

What a fine stamp of a man!

What is a big issue me is "Seborrhoeic Dermatitis", a kind of psoriasis that is not as red and not as mange like in appearance. However it gives me severe dandruff all though my scalp and I get it behind the ears on the bridge of my nose, eyebrows and down the back of my neck.
It also deposits dandruff flakes over my glasses and I have to clean them frequently.

Looks like this Seborrhoeic Dermatitis is part of a metabolic dysfunction of trypophane and a vitamin B6 dificiency where if it is deficiant at childhood could lead to autism

The kids in my regualr classes would always say, "Look out! You're head's going to blow-up!" It got a little annoying, after a while.

My head is a -bit- big. I have slight overbight, but I have consciously tried to straighten my jaw out, which is starting to become automatic.

As far as ears: my ears are completely normal.
