Come again? Do you mean is the discrepancy in height greater amongst those on the spectrum as opposed to the general population? I imagine it is but don't know for sure. The gist of my post was to half agree with the OP that those on the spectrum are often bigger than the general population, but the opposite is also true that they are also often smaller than the general population. Those extremes probably get lost when the all the heights and sizes are averaged together.
Edit: Or was that just a rhetorical question? In which case I don't know.
