Really Weird range depending on location.
School uniform makes me look younger.
The range is 12-18 that people guess.
The lower end being in school uniform, the higher end being anywhere else in my own clothes.
I seem to look younger in profile than full-on for some odd reason.

I look younger than my Age. I'm 31 and somebody at my Clubhouse told me that I look like I'm 23.

Maybe I should grow a beard.

It is annoying being mistaken for the graduate with no experience when you have 15+ years experience, accumulated knowledge, and you're older than your boss and you know the job better than him.

My son's teenage friends want to date me.

That can only mean one of two things:
I look younger than my age.
My son's friends are perverts.

If I don't shave, I look pretty old. Clean shaven, I probably look more like my actual age.

I always thought this was:

You look gorgeous.

Every teenage boy has a fantasy about a gorgeous older woman who can teach him everything he needs to know in bed.

I don't know....I still think it's because they're perverts.

I have always looked younger. It's a nice feature of being an Aspie, I have to admit. I'll be 46 this year and I hear it on a regular basis that people assume I'm early 30s or even late 20s.

Of course, being the over analytical type, I have felt complimented most of the time but other times I wonder - do I appear childish? Do I dress funny? Is there something wrong with me that I don't look mature?

On a good day I just smile and enjoy it.

The kids want me to act very goofy in class, but I listen and do what the teacher says. Kids think I act like a 20 year old. I'm only 11 and I act more mature than the average 5-6th grader.

I'm 22, but people still ask me if I go to the local high school. I'm not sure if it's just because of the way I look, or perhaps people with AS tend to come off as younger because of their social tendencies.

I have received a few "you look younger than you are" comments before, though I am only 16.
