Does every aspie look younger?

Post Reply New Topic

I look youthful because of my unlined skin and long hair. Then again, I'm 5'10" and look like I'm done puberty. I bet I could pass for 18 even without growing my facial hair with no trouble, not that I couldn't pass for 15 either.

Your writing style reminds me of the way yoda speaks. Not that it's a bad thing.[/quote]


Thank you most kindly even if, I'm not a 500yr old Jedi Master
Honestly, I understand your meaning and all..

Yoda is wonderful, and doesn't look a day over 300.

I have been told I look at least 10 years younger than my real age. By this picture would you have guessed I was almost 36? Just curious how old people would have thought by those two pics below?



or

It is difficult to determine WHAT might be contributing to my youthfull look. But I am very greatfull since adults don't receive the same courtesy I receive.

Both of my parents have irish ancestory, so my bone structure is very round soft, subtle with no prominant male features. My eyes are very oval, bright and large and I have wrinkle free pale skin, my looks favour more my mums side.

I am 25, however in situations where people have attempted to guess my age since I don't easily give such information. People have passed me off as a teenager. Adults treat me more attentively and often use the word young excessively, and I am often attracted more by teenage audiences than the ones I woud prefer not to interact with.

Thanks, but since I'm constantly changing my avatar one really can't tell my actual age unless I were to upload an image of what I look like, which in itself is not going to be done anytime soon.Anyways, I regards your comments in a most kindhearted manner though...

For me, it is always difficult to guess someone's age. So sorry to all those asking if they look younger. I just cannot tell.

just shaved yesterday, i feel like i look the way i was 2-3 years ago... <.<

Yeah, I get that a lot - it used to drive up the wall when I was younger. It gets better with age - at least now people realise I'm an adult

I look quite young but somewhere there is a picture of me on a wall that gets older every day...

I'm 36, I look younger than I am. I also don't act my age. I have diginosed social-immaturities. I don't get carded as much as I used too but sometimes I do.

I look much, much younger than I am. In some ways it is nice but at work it can be a bit of a drawback as I am treated like I am not very experienced. I never really understood why it is that I look so young until I read the topic in this forum. I thought it might be because I am vegetarian

I'm 58 but I get told I look like I'm in my 40s......and I know another Aspie who is 38 but looks about 25.

I am in my mid 20's and people tell me I look 18, at least when I need to be ID'd for something, outside of that people act shocked when I tell them my real age and I suspect they also think I'm under 18 but don't tell me that. I've gotten some "no ways" "you can't be that old" "you're lying" etc.

When i was around 18, people always said i was 15 or 13.
Now that i'm in late twenties, people still say i look younger, but i see myself older.

Not exactly true. Biology comes in handy.

All right so part of looking your age is partly environment, diet, etc.

The other part is family, if you have an alpha male father your growth is stunted... that is if you're male. The reason why someone not the alpha male would want to look young is that way you can't get hurt by the alpha male. You look like you're still a child.

The other part is social age and social environment. If you're an extremely social person you're going to look older or around the age you're suppose to. If you're not social, you can possibly be effected by a social form of stunted growth.

edit: Ooops. Forgot to answer the question. Yes. Look at my avatar is all I have to say.
