well, I know part of my skininess is due in part to my stim. I have a tendedcy to just rock my fet up and down at a rate that if I had a bass pedal under my feet, and a BPM counter, id be roughly producing what tends to be one continuous tone. In response to it I have very well defined and built calves. The main downside to the stimm, It can very much distrupt other people and cause structural damage to the floor/ceiling beneath. I feel that its gonna be a HUGE problem once I move into the new apartment. And I feel that my neighbors have not a damn reason to know I am on the spectrum, just because its none of their business who I am and what makes me tic and such.

6ft 1 and I weigh 264 lbs. Probably down to the fact that I turn to food whenever I'm bored or depressed.

160cm - 56-58kg (yes, it varies when I have my periods). Used to be fatter.

I can eat the same thing over and over again but that does not mean it's healthy. I also had medication which made me fatter and eating disorders.

Not an hourglass (more of a V shaped body with hips), I have wide hips and broad shoulders, a define waist but my tummy tend to be bloated and look fat and my legs are too slim. Laughing

So, not stick thin, not sexy as hell either. Too bad. Laughing

I'm about 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weigh roughly 145 pounds. My gluten (wheat) and casein (dairy) allergies prevent me from eating foods that would make me gain weight.

I am a chubby aspie too, I am a very fussy eater but unfortunately I love mac and cheese and hot dogs! I would eat them everyday if I was aloud.

5'2", 130 and that's with ongoing diet and exercise. Round all over, big butt. I've always been chubby. In my family there are 3 body types: tall and thin, petite and thin and short and wide.

I am 9 stone. I actually CANNOT gain weight, no matter how much I eat. But I do a fair amount of exercise, and apparently my anxiety and depression stops me gaining weight Confused

You sound alot like me, except I eat healthy foods along with that.


I eat other stuff too, guitar girl Very Happy
I'm seafood and vegs type, not a big fan of meat...maybe that's why I'm thin...

Certainly not.

I've seen a few Aspies who were overweight. But most of the Aspies who I've seen are thin or in the medium weight range.

I'm really thin, I eat plenty though & in the past I even actively tried to gain weight by increasing my intake of food to the point where I was probably consuming one & a half the RDA of calories for men, I didn't exercise much at the time or anything like that either, I was sick of people bringing up how thin I was. I didn't gain one single pound, it made me feel quite ill too so I stopped after seeing no results. My body doesn't appear to store fat whatsoever, I can't find a single millimeter of my body with fat on it. Anyone else like this?

People always comment about how thin I am, sometimes it seems as if they are trying to insult me but I can't figure out why they feel the need? "You really need to eat more food mate"etc (men say it in an insulting way like I'm anorexic & it will spur me on to recover or something), "Just look at him! I wish I could eat all that & stay so thin" (usually from from fat women), seriously is that supposed to be a damn compliment because I sure as hell don't think it is, it really irritates me. When do you hear people going up to a really overweight person & saying "You're such a fat bastard, I bet you eat all the time" it doesn't happen because it would hurt the persons feelings, there is no point to it whatsoever & it is seen as totally unacceptable behaviour. So why is it accepted when it's the other way around? Personally I'm sick of people commenting though, I may post a picture later, online comments are fine though lol.
