AS and Height

Post Reply New Topic

6'3" 230lbs

I'm about 6'1" and weigh about 135 lb, so I'm very lanky. Although I think my build has more to do with my Nordic and Eastern European heritage instead of being autistic.

Well, I'm 99% sure I have AS, and I am 6'4". I used to be lanky, until I started overeating and drinking beer all the time as a way of coping with difficult emotions raised in no small part by problems in life caused by the social implications of Asperger's.

My dad, whom I highly suspect of having AS himself, is 6'2", which is still tall.
Yet, my older brother, whom I also highly suspect of having AS, is barely 5"10.

I think you may be onto something, though.

*feels short*

I'm 5 foot 2.

I am 6'3 and about 180lbs.

I don't know that height has any correlation with AS, but I have read that typically lower muscle mass is often associated with AS.
As far as height goes the only relation I can think of is that height could have some sort of dominance, and so could AS perhaps? Don't take me for my word though just an idea.

I am 5'10 and weigh 193 lbs. People tell me I am muscular.

My older brother who is normal is around 6'1.

My dad thinks my growth was somewhat stunted because I am diabetic, which he could be right. My dad has said if I werent diabetic I would probably be as tall as my brother.

6'7", currently 244 pounds and atheletic built.
Weight fluctuates between 227 and 255 pounds.

I do not know if that ties in with being autistic but probally has more to do with having ancestry from my dads family being nordic.

I'm short in height, but at least I share the same height as Beethoven - 5'5". I weigh about 160 pounds...slightly stocky...but not fat yet. Mesomorphic body type.

Dont accuse me of generalizing, it was my mom who made the generalization. She may be wrong as both parents were skinny as kids so i prolly got the genetic from them. My dad graduated high school at six foot and 150 pounds but he weighs about 185 now due to slowing metabolism (he is 53) and being very sedentary. My mom graduated at 5'9" and 120, but shes about 135 or 140 now so still fairly thin. I am 6'2" and 155 as i stated earlier and my little brother, who is 14 (hes an NT) is about 5'8" and 120 pounds. and when i mean aspies being lanky as my mom said, i meant what you were as a kid.

I'm 5'2 and half, weighing 93lbs, yea my weight flucuates from 92-98 lol. So i'm tiny, but doctors still say im still growing ugh, which means still having to buy new clothes every year,ahh when will it ever end lol.

6ft 2" tall & 220lbs. I saw a post from a mum of a teenager asking is it true that all Aspergers are attractive/good looking. lmao of course we are, the women are foxes and us guys are Adonis.

Where do these myths surface from at times. I do like the second assumption about Aspergers people though!!

You are not alone, I am 5'2" as well.
I also have a naturally petite build and am a UK Size 6

I also agree with the comments that all aspies are good looking
I am a part time model afterall.

Never been diagnosed so it doesn't mean anything... I'm 1m62 (I think it's 5'3) and I'm slightly overweight (my doctor says I have a good weight... 63-64kg, I think that's 141 lbs). I'm currently losing weight without doing anything...

Dunno exact measurements (I haven't learned what they mean yet, I hate no idea how big 2 feet is!) but I'm tall, used to be thin but I'm getting a bit more chubby these days.

im short. im 4"11 but i apear to be even shorter because of my posture

(and i am done growing im 19)


as for weight i weigh too much I weigh 155 lbs ive been through many periods of emotional eating.

This is very interesting. I have Asperger's and here is my height. I am 6'1" and 210 lbs. I was always taller than my classmates. I hit 6'1" in the 7th grade and weighed 141 lbs. I was always skinny growing up. By the 12th grade I weighed 150-160 lbs.
