I think a lot of the times when people mistake the age of Aspies for as much as decades younger than we actually are, it's not only because of looks, but also because of a naive demeanour and not carrying ourselves with authority and confidence, like adults our age. That naive, awkward demeanour is associated with young age.
I also suspect it has to do with limited facial mobility, like botox.
People are often surprised when I am the oldest one in the room.
