If head circumference is an indicator for autism according to this website then what is your head circumference?
I just measured mine and it is 58cm, which is big but not huge
But it is very big compared to my father's head who's hat was much much too small for me.

I just wonder if anyone mind putting a tape measure around their head?

Mine is about 52.5 cm -- a bit small for a woman.

I found a plastic string off an onion sack on my floor. Wrapped it around my head
carefull not to strecth it. Cut it to the diameter around my forehead. Took a US
cash note 6.0" lenght I know from past research. Measure three lenghts of the bill marking on the tape 18 in then marked the remaining distance on the cash note.
Folded the note in half to form a 3" fold from the end. The mark was still about 1/2
inch past the line thus 3.5". 18 + 3.5 + 21.5" 21.5 x 2.54 = round ups to 55 cm
(I assume my errors would most likely be pulling the string to tight around my head streching it and then not enough measuring it so why the error makes it likely right at 55 cm) .

About 55cm.

My Parents were wondering why I had a tape measure around my head. :lol:

Whats generally the average size head, for adults? Does it not depend on your height?

This isn't even a theory or a fact, its a thesis!

why would the shape of one's head determine whether that person is on the autistic spectrum or not?

Actually, cranial size is supposedly related to class, race, sex, size,age, etc....
"definitive" studies study a more appropriate volume. And THOSE studies area apparantly HORRIBLE! They CLAIM asians have a lot more capability than whites, but then reveal the "correct" for size differences and even then men are about the same and the real difference is with women. The early training in some areas may stimulate asians, and earlier there was behaviour that may have stunted white women, making such observations obsolete and just WRONG. As for comparisons between white and black? Well, nobody will believe those or even seriously do them based on claims of racism. Still, the same problems exist there as between whites and asians.

How does head circumference determine whether one has autism?
