Autistic and aging - brighter topic for a change

Mariusz

There was a topic like that but I'm unable to find it

I wanted to report that I'm aging after all, a bit dissapointing fact. Today I noticed my first forehead wrinkle and I'm almost 43. My hair is graying rapidly aswell, Over last two years almost half of it.

That is what they envy us

what about you?

  • I'm 17 now but I still look about 13 but no greys yet thank god! 

    My voice is a bit deeper now and not as cute as it was but I can just about live with that lol.

    I'm not sure about women but man don't like high pitched voices,

    there is a build in mechanism that disables hearing input in case of hearing voice like that

    both autistic and nonautistic man have it LOL

    I talked about it with a friend

    so I would say it's good for you your voice is deeper now

    I think for me it's just the change. I notice things, differences in myself and I've noticed my voice has changed and at times it doesn't sound like me, or the me I'm used to. 

    I'm sure I'll get used to it Slight smile

    That's interesting to know by the way. I always thought men would prefer a softer more high pitched voice, but then again I know nothing about these things lol which is probably why I'm single.

    Yeah I've read about how bad relationships can effect you that way. I wouldn't want that but at same time I don't like being unloved either. I'm hoping one day I'll meet someone who's just right and doesn't mind me being autistic.

    No I've not done that before. I did it just now and you're right it sounds completely different! It's like it's literally someone else you don't know you're hearing. That's so cool!

    Don't worry about being single, it's preferable to being in a bad relationship I can say in retrospection. Bad relationships ends and you're single again, only badly messed emotionally.

    Have you tried to listen to recordings of your voice? 

    I did it 2 weeks ago for the first time ever and I wouldn't recognize myself, it sounded so strange
