No. But it does correlate with having a blemish on the toenail of the big toe on the left foot.

Well, autistics are less likely to put a lot of effort into looking good, such as putting on makeup or bathing regularly. And a small minority of autistics have underlying syndromes that cause specific facial appearances, most of which don't fit our society's standard of beauty. But in general, no. Autistics can look like anything. I've been told I'm very good-looking, which I actually hate because I'm asexual and guys keep coming on to me.

My son is cute as hell ( don't ask where that phrase came from, but it means really good)

Well i am not so lucky. being not good looking and autistic is very bad.

No.

Apparently, I was attractive when I was young because when I hit 30 I realized that a lot of girls were hitting on me when I was 20. Of course, as an autistic, I had no clue why they were looking at me like that.

Wavefreak do u think i should ignore what my brohter says my looks?

Yup.

Especially considering some of the other things you post about him and your family. They seem to like using you as a verbal punching bag, abusing you at the slightest provocation.

Yeah wavefreak but it ain't easy for them having too look after someone with AS who has mood disorders.

I might not be the best judge of these things, but I really don't think Lionel Messi is an ugly guy.

Is it possible he intended this as a compliment?

I think the man in the picture is handsome.

Yeah but he's never talked about for his looks on the internet and some other soccer players are.

My mother does not think he is good looking either.

i can't see myself how i look like him. i think i look more like keanu reeves but i could be wrong?

"Good looking" is entirely subjective. I would definitely ignore the incredibly common teasing from your brother. In fact, if it were me, I'd ask him if that was the best he's got. Going for the looks is an incredibly predictable insult.

Well, Jamesy maybe your brother found you Achilles tendon and is trying to aggravate you by picking on the way you look? He just wants to get to you. It's hard dealing with insults from family members you have to live with. Try to find a way to take your mind off it.

do you think its pathetic for a 21 year old man (will be 22 in september) too be reduced to a crying blubbering wreck by his 19 year old brother?

I think the footballer is really quite attractive (and my taste isn't at all unusual - George Clooney, Johnny Depp, etc).
