190 cm (6 feet 2.8 inches).

Why don't you use metric system on international forums? Am I the only non-American here?

Nope...they can be any height, just like everyone else. I am about 5 feet even and have an Aspie friend who is about the same height.

My daughter is equal tallest in her class of 31, with a boy who is also waiting to be assessed for autism (probably Aspergers). She's actually one of the youngest and towers above some kids who are nearly a year older than her. She was average at birth, but had reached the top 2% by the time she was 2yrs, where she still is at almost 6yrs. But, who knows what height she'll be as an adult. They had another boy in their class last year, who is now at a specialist autism unit (he has a diagnosis of Aspergers), and he was several inches taller than her.

I'm completely average (5'4"/162cm), but I was this height when I was 10yrs (the only time in my life I would be considered really tall).

I'm 6'4"

I think that to find a correlation (or if one existed at all), we'd have to compare the heights of aspies to the heights of NTs within the the same family.

Im on the taller side for an asian female. Im 5'6 and I think the average height for an asian female is 5'2, 5'3. I dont think being aspie has anything to do with height. Thats strictly genetics and hormones.

Theres all these interesting aspie physical stereotypes people on here seem to ask about.

NO! AS does not affect how tall you are. I don't know where you dragged that from. Everybody are different shapes and sizes.

Approximately, of all the people I know or have known, about 30 percent are taller than average, about 30 percent are smaller than average, and about 40 percent are average.
I was smaller than most girls in my class, all through school. And I come from a tall family!

I bet in a few weeks I will find a thread saying ''are those with Aspergers smaller than average?'' So there is no real answer.

My Aspie daughter also has giant feet. She is 11 and she is wearing size 8 (40). Her feet are the same size as mine already! And she is not as tall as I am - she is still a couple inches shorter.
