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?
Yes! I'm 17 and already have loads of white hairs. I have to keep plucking them all the time as they stand out in my very dark hair.
I had my first strands of grey hair appear from about same age as you (17) and my hair is still god willing all brown apart from a small patch that is barely noticeable at back. I'm 30 now. Don't think you probably have to worry too much. It may be anxiety/stress that makes it worse so definitely aim to do you're best to control it. Easier said than done I know.
Thank you, I hope it won't spread too much. It's unfortunately at the front of my head though so it would be noticeable if I didn't pluck them.
