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'm a brunette and so far I don't have any grey hairs, not that I've noticed anyway lol. I'm only 18 though so I might still be too young. My older sister who is also autistic, diagnosed last year, she is 26 and her greys are starting to show.
It will be interesting if I end up grey. I suspect I will as according to online stress can cause greys to occur and I am constantly stressed due to chronic anxiety from Generalised Anxiety Disorder.
