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 autism is inherited from my father's side of the family. My grandfather only had a few grey hairs when he died in his late 80s. My father is in his 70s now and his hair is still completely dark. I'm 36 and thought I saw my first grey last time I cut my hair but now I can't find it.
