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).

  • I would say yes. Despite being 26 I'm often told I look like I should still be at school and I'm always asked for ID when I pick up smokes or alcohol. I like it because I guess I don't look old but I do get treated like a kid a lot which is less cool. 

    I think this must be an autism thing as we all seem to have this with looking younger than we areGrinning
