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'm going to be 42 next month, and I still get people telling me I don't look that old. Or that they are surprised that I'm old enough to have 3 children, 2 of which are already young teenagers.

    I've never really been bothered by the comments, but I have found them odd, wondering why they think that and I don't seem to look like everyone else - another reason to feel like a bit of an outsider. I've always been a small person, I think I'm just about average height for a male, but I'm very slender with small shoe size, so I generally have always just looked small. Maybe that's the perception people have of me and why they assume I look younger than I am.
