Hand features related to autism.

My biology teacher in HS had single transverse palmar creases on both hands, but no visible genetic disorders or ASDs.

I thought it was strange.

My ring finger is a tiny bit longer then my indexes.

Though I don't have the simien thing I do have that my headline is had merged with my life line giving my like only 2 lines on my right hand.

I used to be into palmistry and I still couldn't read my own hand!

I wonder what that means to have the simien thing!

My hands don't match each other

Does anybody have an unusual pinky? Mine is way too short.

What is normal/average length?

I just measured...

left:

P: 6.9 cm
I: 8 cm
M: 9 cm
A: 8.1 cm
c: 6.5 cm

right:

P: 6.8 cm
I: 7.9 cm
M: 8.9 cm
A: 8 cm
c: 6.4 cm

Hmm...weird.

PIMAc, i play guitar

I meant short compared to the other fingers. Mine are so short people have made comments about it and I don't like to wear gloves because there's always a lot of room left on the pinky. And since you measured, I decided to measure mine too and it was less than 5 cm long!

I have two creases and my index and ring fingers are pretty identical in length.

My right ring finger is way longer than my first, and my left ring is slightly longer than my first. 2 creases though.

This is interesting. I have pretty short fingers but I never knew it was linked to the spectrum; don't seem to fit the rest, though, because I do have two creases in my palm and my finger ratio is the normal 2D>4D.

I'll show you two pictures of my left hand (which is my writing hand), and you tell me if this is a normal ratio or not:

This is how to measure 2D:4D

My hands:

Length of Right Index: 67 mm
Length of Right Ring : 72 mm

67/72 = 0.930


Length of Left Index: 64mm
Length of Left Ring : 69 mm

64/69 = 0.927

Average ratio:

(0.930+0.927)/2 = 0.9285 <0.96

???! ! :S



I guess that I have to double check and take another photocopy of my hands

Wow, plenty of people have chubby/big hands, regardless of their actual weight. I have long and skinny hand.

hadapurpura,

your ring finger is longer than the index finger , this is rare in females.

Mine appear the same, but when measured they're almost same length.

My hands and (special bonus!) my face.





As you can see, my index fingers are significantly longer than my ring fingers. I have never seen anyone (male or female) with length ratios like mine.

And I'm not at all gay or inherently transgendered.

MY RING FINGERS ARE .5" LONGER THAN MY INDEX, AND MY PINKY FINGERS ARE ALMOST EXACTLY 1.5" SHORTER THAN MY RING FINGER.

THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL PUT OUT A TWO DISC DVD SERIES CALLED "SCIENCE OF THE SEXES" WHICH DISCUSSES THIS. THE THEORY IS THAT IF YOU HAVE LONGER RING VS. INDEX FINGERS YOU HAD A LARGER THAN NORMAL AMOUNT OF TESTOSTERONE EXPOSURE AS A FETUS. THEY WERE USING THIS TEST TO HELP THEM SELECT THE BETTER MALE ATHLETES ON A TEAM, BY USING IMAGES OF THEIR HANDS ONLY TAKEN ON A COPIER MACHINE. WAS AN INTERESTING SERIES...
