I am curious about the prevalence of certain physical traits among Aspies. Do you have these features?

Shoveled incisors
Carabelli's cusp
'Sector-shaped' eye sockets (eye sockets tallest at outer sides)
Bizygomatic breadth that is greater than forehead width

Might help you explained these features (with a diagram?). I'm not sure what any of them look like or how to recognize them.

You can check the first two items by touching certain parts of your teeth, and you can check the second two items with a mirror: for info, search the names of all four items on Google/Bing/Wikipedia.

Death is not a prerequisite for any of those.

Shoveled incisors (wide and flat) Looks like it.
Carabelli's cusp (Bump on the back of teeth) I can feel teeth bumps with my tongue.
'Sector-shaped' eye sockets (eye sockets tallest at outer sides) Felling my eye sockets with my fingers, it seems so.
Bizygomatic breadth (cheekbone width) that is greater than forehead width. Looks that way.

Yes to all 4 of them; however i did not measure my face so i cannot be totally positive. But on first impression it seems that i have all of these. Did not realize they were connected to anything with autism/aspergers.
