I'm 5'9", 190lbs. I don't know whether Asperger's affects height. The sedentary lifestyle of some Aspies might contribute to weight gain, though. For example, I've gained 18 pounds in the last five months or so, in which I ate a lot of fast food and was sedentary at my job and school.

I've heard the average male is 5'10", so 5'9" isn't that small!

I'm 6'. I WAS 6'1", but have arthritus, and am not young. This DOES seem to indicate that aspies tend towards the taller side, but are pretty average over all. BTW if you think you are short, CHECK! I met a LOT of people SWEARING to be 6'1" or so, and I look at them thinking YOU ARE NUTS! They were WAY to tall. WELL, my approximations, earlier measurement, and one at a doctors office a few months ago ALL say I am about 6'.

BTW all through school I was roughly average height. Also, women DO tend to be shorter, and I think the average IS like 5'5". And WEIGHT means little. A LOT of things affect that.

bazza, please tell me your special interest relates to this somehow. I mean, I know aspies are supposed to be pedantic but this is ridicolous. :lol:
