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).
The most common assumption people make upon meeting me is that I'm an undergraduate student. I'm 36. I also occasionally get mistaken for a child, usually when wearing sportswear. I'm not complaining too much; sometimes it means bus drivers charging me the cheaper child price rather than the adult fare when I ask for a single.
