To my knowledge, no. Autistic teens' bodies are just as physically genetic as anyone else's.

I didn't become sexual until I was 14, maybe even 15. I didn't start growing armpit/pubic/leg hair until about then too. My voice was still like a kid's when I was 14, probably.

Lots of people have been surprised when I told them I was 24-27. I've looked younger than 18 while 25+ to some people!

I still have acne at the age of 27. My skin really needs to grow up already! I'm just praying I don't end up with pimples AND wrinkles...
