I used to look older than I am, but now I think I look my age.

Do you have any more pix of yourself Sopho?

when door to door sales people come around or telemarketer calls or even when i call for tech support that speaks english tehy get that temptation to ask, ARE YOUR MOMMY OR DADDY HOME??

its quite embarrassing when i ask for help (when i uesd to) and get that responce and have to talk to a supervisor's supervisor's supervisor because of it and actually get somewere,

also once a deli owner almost called the high school that i had graduated from a year earlier because she thougth i had cut school to get a hoagie.

Most of the time I think I look younger. I got ID'd twice in the space of five minutes at a gig once, even though I was 19 (we can drink from the age of 18 here) and once got mistaken for a young boy in a chip shop. My family seem to delight in telling me that I look about 12 or 15, as though that makes me cute.

It also depends on my hair though. Certain styles make me look younger, certain styles make me look my age. I don't think I ever look older anymore though.

Not really, just my avatar.
I have some on Myspace but I don't really go on there anymore so most of them are about a year old.

I've had people unsure about whether I was a boy or not when I where a hat lol.
I where guy's shirts and (usually) baggy pants, so that's probably why.

when I was younger I looked younger than I was, these days I look about the right age, although I'm 5' 7.5" which I would say is just slightly less than average height for a 25 year old male (my opinion though)

I am fifty years old but, I look thirty years old. Wow, I will never need a
plastic surgeon! I guess you can say that I am living "proof" that age is a
state of mind. I never tell people my age when I first meet them; it's enough
to let them them that I am alot of fun to be around.

Sometimes, I wonder though, why is it that most people with Asperger
Syndrome do look younger than their real age?

i have a feeling that its beucase of developmental delays that the part of the brain responsible for showing age is delayed thus you look younger then stated age.

Younger, it gets on my nerves. I'm 20 years old but people say I look 15-16. Tis probably why I rarely shave. :roll:

If I shave like I'm supposed to, I usually look way younger than I am. I am 28 but I routinely pass for 17 or 18.

My mom says I look about 4 years younger than I really am. That's good, because I still have the personality of a child.

I'm 23 but I look like I'm in my late 20s. It doesn't help I am prematurely balding.

Because of an area of grey hair on the front of my head, I look like I am in my late 30s.

I am actually 27.
