NO... I've seen people on the spectrum at both weight extremes and healthy. But from what I can tell the lower functioning ones tend to be very overweight or thin due to poor diets, etc.

Okay, I'm an American, and honestly this is the first I've ever heard of stones. I'm a broad and tall gal, but not chunky - just warrior-shaped, 'cuz that's what I am. 5'11 (180cm), 165 lbs, or about 12 of your "stones".

6'2" and 96 kilos, so I'd technically be overweight. I look a LOT skinnier than I should.

I would love to be as thin as what Erisad refers to as "fat". No offense, but I'm struggling a lot with weight and self-esteem...

Apparently I have 10 stones under my belt. Interesting. I'm going to start saying that from now on.

I weigh around 14 stone and am 5 foot 10. I used to be really skinny until about 3 years ago my metabolism seemed to slow right down.

I'm 6'0" 160lbs

This puts me healthy in terms of BMI but and possibly a little low in the fat department considering my level of fitness (I got accused of using steroids in high school so I've got some muscle on my bones). I really am getting kinda pissed at my muffintop though even though when I stand up and flex I look fine.
