Yes.
I was over 6 foot by my teens. 6'4" now, and I've thoroughly stopped growing, thankfully.
I was always the tallest kid in class when I was younger.
I've heard before that many aspie males become "gentle giants".


I know two of those. One is a quiet teenage male of 6ft 5in. One a heavyset guy of about 6ft.

My guess is that the statistical distribution of height in the Aspie population does not differ markedly from the population as a whole.

I'm 6 foot 2, I guess that's kind of tall.
