Can AS cause tall stature?

Post Reply New Topic

I am 5'2"

I'm 5'1"-the shortest person in my family.

I am 5'5.5
Of course, my mother smoked during pregnancy.
My (LITTLE) sister is 5'11" or some such insanity. I am the sole hobbit in a family of amazons.

I'm 6'6 ... i have a mild form of ehlers-danloss hypermobility syndrome (loose joints, spontaneous dislocations, curved fingernails)...Scots descent.
both my brothers barely crack 6' as did my father. nobody else in the family manifests EDS, but it wouldn't surprise me to find my elder brother also has AS, possibly my mother did too.

Fascinating to find AS may be linked.

I'm 6'3", so I suppose one could consider me tall.

Seen about people growing faster on a show & remined me of the word ( over-production of growth hormone ) Gigantism

I am 5' 11" and i am the tallest in my family. Most men in my family, inner/exterior, are only about 5' 7".

Being the person who started this topic, I am noticing that AS males tend to be taller than their siblings, but AS females are not. BUT, one would need a large sampling of the AS population to reach any real conclusions.

i wish!! !! !! !! i am only 4 "11 ! !! ! (though i appear to be shorter because of my posture)

I'm 1,82metres tall and of average to thin posture.
My brothers are 1.88 and 2 metres tall.
Both of them have a really big build with arms in wich mine fit like 3/4 times lol.
My mom is tall for a female, my dad is about my size.

Hmmmmm.... interesting.

I'm 6'0", female and very much an ectomorph. My dad (who has clear Aspie traits) is 6'4" and an ectomorph. His father (who apparently had Aspie traits) was 6'5" and an ectomorph.

On the other hand my sister is 6'1", an ectomorph and an NT - guess she lucked out!

I am 6'1" but everybody but my mom is tall.

I started out being 5'2 (aged sixteen). I have now shrunk to 4'11". Just found that out 3 days ago and was totally surprised. So I too am a Hobbit - without the big hairy feet.

i'm not even 5 foot even so no

I'm barely 5'3, but it's not so bad since I'm female.

As for my family, on my Mom's side I'm a giant and on my father's side I'm a runt. So I guess I feel right in the middle genetically, lol.
