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.
That's young - are you anxious or stressed daily? May be another cause to think about, and family history of going grey that young?
Yes its absolutely to do with stress but with autism it's very hard not to be anxious all the time!
