As I read how many people look younger then they are, I wonder then if that is related to aspiness. has aspieness somewhere an influence on hormones that refrinas our aging?
Do we relate better to younger than to our peers or do we relate better to older. and is it possible that the interaction wiht younger ones than ourselves keeps us not only mentally immature but also bodily?

For the last 5 years in my life I have virtually no more contact with young people because I travel with partner who is 14 years my senior, and I have the impression I age faster now.
I have an obsession with beauty and perfection and young, I consider a face lift, and people laugh at me. If I could I would lift my whole body, I hate aging and looking at old people, cannot help it. I panicked when I was seventeen and asked my sister how I oculd look like 15 again. I never felt I was my age, and now I regret I have not been, acted my age when I was that age, can you folow me??

You need to chill out Cool age is nothing to be afraid of and you won't turn 'ugly' by age if you take of yourself.

don't understand 'take of yourself'

As a child I used scissors to try and cut out moles on my skin and i still have this worry about all the body imperfections, it is like looking at my body through a microscope!! Ifear the drabby skin, dementia, being dependent on people, drooling, as an aged person, not being able to play as a youngster anymore.

I regret now not having been able to do stunts on skate board, bmx bikes, just beacaus I had no space awareness and afraid to be laughed at by peers, I always walked away from trials or testing hwo good you are, and yet now I look at it with regret of not having done it, that depresses me

No, I think you're confused. Aspies tend to look younger than they are, but not because of some great effort or obsession. That's just the way it is.

You, on the other hand, are obsessed with your appearance. That would be unusual for someone with AS, IMO.

Life is for living. Why waste it mutilating yourself and worrying about silly things?

then we are not all the same. But the way I looked like has been an obsession since I was 9, not accepting my body or seeing it growin, wanting to be perfect (perfection is something that is seen AS too), or plain simply it is an obsession.

What is IMO?btw. My whole family always looked younger than they were/are, even I still do compared to my peers, and that was not trying to look younger. That has only arisen increasingly as I got older.
