I have a theory that people with aspergers/high functioning autism are prone to going grey - follicly speaking - sooner than the average person. I have and I know a couple of other people like me who also have gone grey earlier than you'd typically expect.
Perhaps it's stress-related, or dealing with the constant anxiety. It's an admittedly small sample size! Any thoughts?
I had my first white hair pointed out by a hairdresser at 12 and was so embarrassed
I’ve always been told it’s the dark hair and blue eye combination as to why our family seems to go white very young something to do with the strength of the colour pigment in the eyes taking away from the hair.
Who knows but it definitely runs in the family!
Don't think there's much validity in the blue eyes and dark hair theory, but at least your early white hair discovery corrobates my theory!
