BTW, I also dispute the connection that Aspies wear a bigger shoe size than the average person. Like I said, I'm an 8, and occasionally can fit into a 7 1/2, which is about average. My mom wears an 8, too but she has to get them wide.

I'm 6 foot 6, the tallest in my family. I've had size 13 feet (US size 14) since age 13. There used to be a joke "act your age, not your shoe size" and for a brief period mine were the same.

I'm 5'-5", and I'll probably never be much taller than that.

I don't believe there's any correlation between Aspie and height. I'm not taller than the average person. If anything I'm shorter! I'm 16 and 151cm (4"11.4'). And I don't have big feet either. Whatever shoe size NZ uses I'm size 7 at highest.

I'm of average height, but I'm on the taller side, though since I think I'm the youngest male in my grade I appear to be shorter.

I am 5'9". The only abnormality about my height is that I continued growing until my early 20s, unlike most girls.

Actually I'm almost certain girls can keep growing into their early 20's a lot of the time. I think it's 22 when you can say you've stopped growing for sure. Maybe 24, but 22 is more likely.

I'm 5'1 1/4

I was measured when I was pregnant with my first baby at age 20, and by the time I was measured when I was expecting my 2nd baby I had grown 2 inches taller.
I don't know how usual that is, but I didn't stop growing until at least 20.
I'm now 5' 7"

in 2007 there was a respectable study (funded by NIH as well as others) which found that children with asperger's were often taller than their siblings and were taller in general. the children were found to have a greater amount of a growth hormone. i do not know if adults are taller (meaning that they actually grow up to be taller or just grow early). you can look it up if you are interested. i'm not sure if anyone has followed up on this study or if there have been any more recent findings regarding height and asperger's.

I doubt it has anything to do with height. I'm 5'5 and my mum is 5'3. I forget how tall my dad is, I think he's about average for a man.

Somewhere between 178 and 182 cm for me, though I'm expected to keep growing for a few years (I'm really slow) and I'm trying to gain some weight and get some muscles to support that.
