when did you start puberty?

Like 6.

Started liking girls and stuff like that around grade 1.

I had no idea that it was happening until it had already happened. I went from a chunky androgynous mess to a teenaged girl...all of a sudden. I think my period was around 13.

Not sure exactly... some parts came early-ish, some average-ish, and some late-ish.
Think breasts started a little on the early side. Very annoying. Same with body smell.
Body hairs, average-ish I'd say.
Period late-ish?... was 14 or 15-ish.... I think. Dunno for sure.
Other things, like all the unlovely body hormones and such didn't seem to come till even later, and the mind/thinking factors as well (such as noticing boys and such that way)... sexual awareness and all that happy junk.... still haven't a clue what my sexuality is for that matter. I've ruled out being homo/gay and that's about it. *Sigh*

I was so oblivious to everything. I was really late to start wearing a bra..and got in trouble several times for that in various ways...

I was completely fascinated by my underarm hair

Before I hit puberty, I was extremely androgynous. I didn't really start looking like a girl till I was around 15 or so..

I was really slow and awkward regarding proper hygeine and whatnots. Had other girls approach me and tell me all this stuff I was doing wrong....really annoying...

Ditto... bras were bad with me; toke my mom yelling and an un-known spinal screening at school sans bra for it to click in (I was and still am not liking people to see me naked, yuck.) , and I hated that thing for the longest time. And now I can't even sleep without having it on...


I still fail with all that.
Brats at school always harassing me about my acne telling me to wash (although I was in fact doing that, at least.).

13 thats when i started to get my period, getting depression, i had to wear makeup but i didnt until 14.
i started to wear bras at 11 tho.
my hair turned brown at 13, and i started to get pit hair haha.

I think mine was around 12 or so which is basically average. I don't think autism has any effect on when the physical aspects of puberty start.

I don't have a clue. I never noticed my voice breaking. I went through school thinking when it was going to break. If it did, I never noticed....

I was pretty late going through puberty. I didn't start the "growth spurt" and the "voice change" til after I was 15. I remember that most of the girls were taller than me til the end of 9th grade.



But good things come to those who wait, right? I ended up taller than all but a few, and also ended up with a fairly deep voice.

13. Lol...

My sister and I were both late at 16. She is very sociable though she has auditory processing problems, meltdowns and generally acts like she has borderline PD. I don't want to pathologise, just painting a picture to save words.
We didn't eat a lot due to being a large poor family so that probably accounts for the lateness.

I didn't reach the other end of the process till last year aged 58 which is unusually late. Thank goodness that's over with apart from hot sweats and flushes.

I'll go with 11.

I have no idea. As far as I know I didn't go through puberty.

I didn't feel any changes, no voice or anything. I was slow to grow body hair.

I didn't feel any change in my emotions or hormones or anything like that either.

I feel the same as I did back then, and in many ways still consider myself a child.

Later than average.

I can remember starting to get some underarm and pubic hair when I was 8. It was a slow incline upwards from there. It wasn't very quick, like some people's puberty was. Boobs developing at 9, period at 11.

I cant remember when I started puberty. It may have been the usual age. But I didnt start shaving until I was 22 and my legs had little hair. Sometimes I was teased about that. So I thought thats the reason why I had no girlfriend, because I was just an inferior male. I even got my hormones tested and that was normal but I didnt look manly. There was no Asperger's back then so I had to assume this was the cause of all my problems.
