I've noticed some topics in the past mentioning that some Aspies can be small for their age, so I was wondering if there are many that are tall for their age (or perhaps, were tall for their age.)

For me, I've always been tall for my age. Usually whenever I tell someone I'm 15, they'll reply surprised, saying something like "I thought you were 18" or something like that. :roll:

I have always been tall! When I was a kid I had to get a ID becuase people didn't believe it when I said how old I was. Someone thought I was 23 when I was 13!

are "stones" a measurement of weight? i've never heard of it. i'd assumed that while the U.S. was still using out of date "pounds" and "feet/inches", that the rest of the world had hopped on the metric system

I have always been tall for my age. I ended up 6 ft 3 in. I was the almost the tallest in my grade in high school and was the tallest in elementary school.

I must be a WP addict. I am writing this on I-5 heading towards Grants Pass, OR.

I was tall for my age in elementary school, but now I'm kind of short. I'm 5'3" at 15 and I'm not sure if I'm going to grow any more or not.
