Theory about greying hair and aspergers/autism

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?

  • My hair is grey (i'm 47) but it doen't make me look older. I look like a teenager and people think i am not a grown up... it's annoying, i try to think it's funny. Actually it's not. People feel embarrassed when they realise my age.... i think i look younger because of my autism.
