Are all AS people thin?

Post Reply New Topic

No, but people with AS tend to have low muscle tone.

6'6", 205 lbs... Mesomorphic build... VERY broad shoulders and chest. and it tends to annoy everyone who gets stuck behind me.
Im muscular yet not at the same time. Im not fat or anything tho.

also, BMI is way too inaccurate for my tastes.

I don't know...I suppose not. Although I'm 95 lbs and I don't have any eating disorder, I eat 3 to 4 times a day, I eat chips and chocolate and chocolate cakes and tiramisu and anything anytime I want, never go on a diet my whole life.

I'm not thin or fat, just about right and have a healthy hourglass shape. My brother (also aspie) is quite a bit bigger. He's about 5'8" and 190 lbs. That's quite a bit considering he's a vegetarian and had a very physical job.

I'd eat anything that's edible, as long as something my stomach can tolerate. My stomach is picky, and gives me terrible heartburn if I eat cheap candies, sugary junk, white bread, white rice, many other grains. It's happy when I eat meat, veggies, whole grains and expensive chocolate. I have little choice but to cook and eat those.

5'8 130lbs

Not at all!

I was 335 lbs up until I started working on losing weight last year. I've lost 100 lbs since then, however.

1,7 m (5,7 ft), about 66 kg (145.5 pounds). Excluding a small layer fat over my abs, I'm actually pretty fit.

Not at all.

To be totally honest, the people I know (in real life) with Asperger's are all decently big.

Aspies can be hyper- or hypoactive, and if you mix that with dietary preferences, you can see how that would account for a variety of body types.

5'5'' 215 lbs, so I am a fat Aspie

I'm also a big, beautiful aspie.

well, I know part of my skininess is due in part to my stim. I have a tendedcy to just rock my fet up and down at a rate that if I had a bass pedal under my feet, and a BPM counter, id be roughly producing what tends to be one continuous tone. In response to it I have very well defined and built calves. The main downside to the stimm, It can very much distrupt other people and cause structural damage to the floor/ceiling beneath. I feel that its gonna be a HUGE problem once I move into the new apartment. And I feel that my neighbors have not a damn reason to know I am on the spectrum, just because its none of their business who I am and what makes me tic and such.

5'4.5" 125lbs

I'm overfat but not overweight

6ft 1 and I weigh 264 lbs. Probably down to the fact that I turn to food whenever I'm bored or depressed.

Nope. I'm 322lbs. Quite fat.
