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).
I seem to be the only (part time) exception! Does nobody else get completely opposing statements on the matter, causing them much inner confusion?!
Yes - me. I get guessed at.....and they are generally EITHER 6 years too young OR 6 years too old.
I don't care because I don't really remember nor care for my own age. It is interesting though.
You don’t remember by what margin? I know someone else who told me this too. I asked was he just a year off at least and he said no, sometimes several. His brain just can’t hold the number. I can’t even imagine not being able to approximate but it shows how different we all are.
Oh man. Don't get me started on numbers. I'm a crazy mix of chaos with the digits and linear time and measurements. I'm definitely somewhat 'other' in these respects. Don't know or care too deeply....but like I say, interesting though.
