Do you look younger than your actual age

Stuart333

Are you well preserved?

I saw a comment somewhere that autistic people may look younger than their actual age. I'm not sure about this, or whether it was based on sufficient data.

Obviously we can't post pictures so this is going to have to be based on your own judgement or comments you have received.

I think I look younger than my actual years, my parents who are nearly 80 don't look that old, especially my dad, something the doctors have said. My smart scales also say my metabolic age is a lot younger (14 years) but I don't believe it.

What do you think? Is there anything in it?

  • I've always looked younger than I am although I think at the age I am now it is a little less obvious than it used to be because I at least look old enough to be an adult now. My mum also looks young for her age and I suspect she's also on the spectrum. This may just be genetics for our family though I guess rather than related to autism. Interesting question though.
