5'8" - 205 lbs. (But my weight has fluctuated anywhere between 149 and 245 lbs.) Much had to do with depression and metabolism fluctuation.

I'm probably underweight too. I rounded my weight up. I don't like it when people call me anorexic.

I'm about 6'1" and weigh about 135 lb, so I'm very lanky. Although I think my build has more to do with my Nordic and Eastern European heritage instead of being autistic.

people with AS tend to me more tall and lanky

Well, I'm 99% sure I have AS, and I am 6'4". I used to be lanky, until I started overeating and drinking beer all the time as a way of coping with difficult emotions raised in no small part by problems in life caused by the social implications of Asperger's.

My dad, whom I highly suspect of having AS himself, is 6'2", which is still tall.
Yet, my older brother, whom I also highly suspect of having AS, is barely 5"10.

I think you may be onto something, though.

I am 6'3 and about 180lbs.

I don't know that height has any correlation with AS, but I have read that typically lower muscle mass is often associated with AS.
As far as height goes the only relation I can think of is that height could have some sort of dominance, and so could AS perhaps? Don't take me for my word though just an idea.

I am 5'10 and weigh 193 lbs. People tell me I am muscular.

My older brother who is normal is around 6'1.

My dad thinks my growth was somewhat stunted because I am diabetic, which he could be right. My dad has said if I werent diabetic I would probably be as tall as my brother.

6'7", currently 244 pounds and atheletic built.
Weight fluctuates between 227 and 255 pounds.

I do not know if that ties in with being autistic but probally has more to do with having ancestry from my dads family being nordic.

Dont accuse me of generalizing, it was my mom who made the generalization. She may be wrong as both parents were skinny as kids so i prolly got the genetic from them. My dad graduated high school at six foot and 150 pounds but he weighs about 185 now due to slowing metabolism (he is 53) and being very sedentary. My mom graduated at 5'9" and 120, but shes about 135 or 140 now so still fairly thin. I am 6'2" and 155 as i stated earlier and my little brother, who is 14 (hes an NT) is about 5'8" and 120 pounds. and when i mean aspies being lanky as my mom said, i meant what you were as a kid.

6ft 2" tall & 220lbs. I saw a post from a mum of a teenager asking is it true that all Aspergers are attractive/good looking. lmao of course we are, the women are foxes and us guys are Adonis.

Where do these myths surface from at times. I do like the second assumption about Aspergers people though!!

Never been diagnosed so it doesn't mean anything... I'm 1m62 (I think it's 5'3) and I'm slightly overweight (my doctor says I have a good weight... 63-64kg, I think that's 141 lbs). I'm currently losing weight without doing anything... :lol:
