I have analyzed facial structure of people with aspergers and autism and I think the reason why their eyebrows are shaped differently downwards like a C is because of the larger foreheads. Doesn't necessarily mean all or that they have huge funny heads, just a little more on the forehead that sticks out..

This could be due to those extra synaptic connectivity that researchers have hypothesized and that a drug could correct it. I'm not a photographer or anything but I have seen the difference between NT's and ASD.

I may post pictures but at the time i Just can't find some good ones to show the difference.

What do you think?

like. (for those that don't know them, british presenters(kind of) they both have massive foreheads)

To answer the op, not seeing it at all. Plenty people have massive foreheads that aren't autistic and vice versa, same with average sized foreheads.

Foreheads are not associated with autism in any diagnostic criteria that I am aware of

I've noticed that most of the people I've met with ASD (including myself) seem to have small, almost squinty eyes. I've also noticed that we tend to have softer facial features.

Uh...

I suspect a type of conspiracy here.

Watch out folks.

NSAHas been revealed to employ hundreds of paid internet "trolls" to spam websites like WP.

What ASD person would choose a handle like "brainpower" , then post about forehead sizes ? (an obvious innuendo to phrenology and how smart ASD people think they are).

Seems like we're being gauged or probed by govt agencies, most likely to embarass the autism community.

Just a supposition. But I think we should consider it. Based on the power-based NT world we live in.

It's blatantly obvious that these facial features are just invented by Aspies as they go along, because these so-called facial features change each thread that springs up about it. Often it gets brought up that Aspies have big eyes, now Aspies have small eyes. Make up your mind!
