Do you look younger than your age?

Do you look younger than your age?

Could this be autism related?

 An autistic friend mentioned this to me the other day and then it was commented on in a thread here today.

I do look younger than my age and so does my friend - maybe by as much as a decade (on a good day).

  • Yes I'm 31 and still get asked what year of secondary school I'm in. Also I was at the doctor's recently, both me and my mother had separate appointments and when it was my turn the nurse asked if I needed my mother to come inside with me, she thought I was a kid and told me she was shocked when she realised I wasn't! It happens quite a bit actually.
