Physical traits

Post Reply New Topic

I'm sure we all know about 2d:4d ratio as a marker for autism but this site lists some others which i find quite interesting:

http://fingerlengthdigitratio.wordpress ... to-autism/

A ‘curved’ pinky finger
Toes slightly too far apart;
Deformed ear lobes;
A higher palate;
Eyes slightly further apart.

I personally have all of these except a higher palate, which i'm not sure about.

For sure dude.

Aside from the whole finger ratio thing (my ring finger is *much* longer than my index finger), my only body abnormality is a congenital foot deformity called "skewfoot" which I doubt anyone else here has, as it is pretty rare. So nope, don't have any of those physical characteristics. My big toe is much further from my other toes due to the skewfoot, but otherwise I think my toes are well-spaced. You didn't give a poll option for "0".

Yes, another "0" here. I have no idea how high your palate is supposed to be, but considering I have no trouble swallowing, I'm pretty sure it's within specs.

oh crap. is there any way i can edit it? I don't think there is

It's hard to interpret what those things mean. "Eyes slightly further apart" compared to who or what? "Deformed" ear lobes? Deformed like with tentacles coming off them or what?

If the the referent of "it" is the poll, then I do not think you can alter it once it has been voted in, but I believe that the moderators probably can. You could PM one or put a request for the poll to be altered into the mods at the Wrongplanet.net.discussion sub forum; from observation, they are quite accommodating about such things if they have the time.

I haven't noticed anyone of the autism spectrum to have eyes that are set farther apart than normal.

i wanted to put 0 but thats not a choice
so i put one.
i guess i relate to the picky one but i dont know.

My eyes are closer together than average. I've had problems finding binoculars and binocular microscopes I can use.

Maybe 2 or 3 of them. I'm not sure about my eyes or toes. My toes are a bit deformed though.

I'll have to go with 1 (as in 0).

I voted 2.

i have no idea how high my palate is supposed to be..

I am not sure whether my eyes are any wider apart than they should be.

My pinkies are as straight as arrows, but I have other fingers that are curved.

I have somewhat prehensile toes..they are wide apart..double jointed..very flexible...I have always figured it was from all the years of toe-walking.

Also, I have an extra knob of cartilege on the second lobe of my left ear...

My very good friend, who I am pretty sure is an aspie has elf ears and super bendy fingers.

He has a very elf/spock physical quality....I don't though...

I'd like to know how the fudge I'd be able to determine those without a whole heap of control subjects to compare myself to.

Prominent, pointy chins

Aside from the earlobe thing, I've got all of them. Including the pointy chin just mentioned.

Side note - I never noticed my pinky did that before! Great....now not only am I fiddling on Wrongplanet on work time, I'm now going to be staring at my hands (and everyone else's) for the foreseeable future!
