Hi and welcome.

This is a weird question.
Judging a person as on the autism spectrum just by their looks is a pretty jumbled hypothesis right now, and just because some researchers get all excited doesn't mean it fits even most of the time. Their pictures and lines and dots still seem pretty subjective in my opinion.

Age appearance has nothing to do with it -that I have heard.
We may feel alien but we don't really look alien, that's one of the fundamental issues (people call us fakers, lazy, and liars) because they cant see a difference AND why it's called an "invisible disability".

An ice cream truck is an amazing thing for an Aspie to drive.

But, if you are 100% certain, then you came here for confirmation, not to hear me poke holes in your evidence.
I wonder why it matters to you?

Good luck, and again, welcome.

There will be an A marked on his skin somewhere, maybe under his hair.

No he looks alien

Ears like and eyes like a cat....

Ear lobes connect to the jawline
Eyes slant back
philitrum is well grooved
Cheekbones wide

I cant post a pic for 5 days.....

Sometimes, when you look at a photo of a person's face, you can tell that they are an Aspie: {this photo}, for example.

The pinky finger sticks out from the rest of the hand.

Be careful with that though, the scarlet letter could also represent atheism or adultery.

Huh i guess the people making wise cracks are not
Aspies

Aspies are logical.... Simple yes or no
As in spock logic

jokes would be considered social games.
Aspies could careless about amuzing others
Truth over opinion is aspie logic.

and opinions are just wasted bandwith

I could care less about amusing others, yes.

Aspie hate laughing, we all go around looking miserable. Does your friend look miserable?

The worst kind, AAA, an Atheist Adulterous Aspie, run away and hide.

He looks sad and empty most of the time...
Its not his fualt its even when he is happy

His eyes have a sad look and his mouth does
To...

he rarely smiles if so its more of a smirk
Eyes always looking away from people

No I cannot identify them. They all look like normal people. You can't judge by looking and it could be anything why someone looks funny and sometimes a picture is taken and the person looks funny for some reason and it happens to everyone. I have seen it with movie stills too,epically when I pause a movie and the character has a funny facial expression but you can't see it while the picture is in motion. Same thing happens when people take photos of a person.

He looks miserable, must be an Aspie then.

Used to have someone 'diagnose' me at work a while ago just by watching me.

Uh no, we Aspies have as much sense of humour as anyone else. I'm officially diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome myself, and I'm always making my family laugh with my irreverent wisecracks and dry sense of humour. In fact my kids always tell their friends how funny I am (which is embarrassing when their friends come round expecting me to be funny).

The reason you are getting so many irreverent comments, is because the idea that you can tell an Aspie by how he looks is a ridiculous idea in the first place. As has been stated Aspergers is a hidden condition - we look exactly like everyone else! The only indicators of Aspergers are behavioural traits, and social difficulties. That is why you have to be interviewed in order to gain a diagnosis.



could just as easily be social phobia disorder or depression.

Also Aspergers is a lifelong condition that you are born with, you don't just develop it after a bad marriage!
