I remember when I first started working, I met a guy who said, and I quote: "You look like you're, like, 12."

OK, maybe that wasn't a quote, but that was the age he used. He later said that it was probably closer to 14, and I think I still look about that age at 22. I know another person at college who looks really young as well, and he's an aspie.

Without a doubt I appear younger than the people I know from high school. Compound that with my biracial (Asian/Caucasian) features and people have no real reference to pin an age on me. All that said, I've not long been out of high school - four years. This speaks more to the changes my friends have undergone.
