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 one of those younger than I look people and I'm sure this is part of autism as so many people seem to be the same as well. I'm 26 but most people think I should be at school because I still look it. I like it sometimes but at times it can be annoying especially as everyone feels they still need to mother me and don't treat me like an adult.
