The height of females on this board

Post Reply New Topic

I'm 5' 9". My mother is 5' 7", and my father is 5' 10".

Almost 5'7", slightly taller than "average" female.
Most family members taller than I (didn't eat my vegetables, perhaps that's why I'm shorter). Mother was 5'9", and her parents were both as tall or taller. Father was over 6', as was his father-but his mother was quite short (not much more than 5') so maybe I got that gene instead.
Don't see connection between physical dimensions and neurological status.

I did not really think they would be,
but it was weird how every girl in this group
was taller then she should be.

Plus I lean towards the neanthal theory,
in which cast there could physical traits past along,
as well as the neurological traits, like brain size,
which dose have some empirical evidence.

Really I just want to find a girl taller than me

5'8"

There is also very little research on females with HFA.

I am 5 feet tall exactly, and also petite. Everyone in my family is taller than me, but not by much. Nobody is over 5'6", so I guess we're all hobbits (without hairy feet)

Nothing the matter with being tall! Be proud of your unique stature (ie: good posture!); dress to reflect your height. Plus, many men like tall women - you're like a statue. Sometimes I wish I were tall(er), mostly for practical purposes though, like reaching things on shelves, having to 'jump' into trucks (designed for men)......etc. I wish sometimes I were physically stronger too.

I'm 6'0" (6'4" in my favourite shoes). My sister is also 6'0", dad is 6'4", mum is 5'6".

I love being tall, apart from trying to find clothes to fit.

Wow. I am only five feet tall. i am usually unaware of how short i am until i am around other people. I have problems on the other end. My clothes dont fit either. The pants are always too long. Even petite pants are usually a little too long. My eleven year old nephew is my height right now. Just cant wait to be dragged around like a ragdoll once those nephews are in their teens.

I'm 5'4'', but would be up to 2 inches taller if it weren't for the crooked back.

I'm 5ft 8".

Same here.

I am 4'10, but I am part Hungarian and most of my Hungarian relatives are titchy!

what about body shape? I've also got a long body with a high waist, long arms & legs, and small boobs (thankfully).

Same thing here I mutter under my breath every time I go grocery shopping...arghhh why do they always put what I want on the top shelf anyway? About 5' 1" here, my mom is 5".

I'm 5'5 and 1/2 but the doctor says I might grow up to 5'7 5'8

Those are probably the same reasons I'd want to be taller... I finally bought a stepstool last month so I can reach the high shelves in my kitchen.

I'm 5'5", which is supposedly average for a woman, but seatbelts never sit quite right on me and pants are always too long. My mom was 5'8", my dad is also 5'8", and I think my brother got all the tallness in my immediate family at right around 6 feet. Most of my female relatives on both sides of my family are probably slightly shorter than I am.

I've never knowingly met another adult Aspie in person (although I'm sure they're around!), so I can't really compare myself there.
