Aspergers and their height/growth

[tearducteyes]

Scraping downward and such to relief tension? How long before you noticed them stop growing and level off at height?


What age and how tall are they and parents?

Hi there,
I'm not sure I understand the first question so can't answer that.
My son is 6'2" and still growing I think. lol Age 19
My daughter (not asd) is still growing and is about 5'4". age 17
I'm 5'10". My children's father is about the same.
My mother was 5'10" and my father was 6'2" apparently. I didn't know them, just been told this.
EDITED my Mistake: I am my son's mother. I wrote mother instead of grandmother.
My son's Grandmother was 4'11" and 3/4" (she always added on the 3/4in) ;)

wondering why you're asking?

By the way, are your eyes doing better these days?

yeah their fine just gotta apply pressure to the joints.


the reason why I asked the question is because my pops is like 6'0 6'1 mom is about 5'1 and im about 5'7. I haven't grown probably since 12 or 13.


And id like to try to start it up again at the age of 20 because ive heard of people in their late 20s hitting spurts of growth without Gh.

That would be interesting if height was related to AS because Adam is 11 and is already 5 ft 3 I think. He wears an 8 1/2 in MENS shoe!! His dad and I are both only 5 ft 8 in. His older teenage brothers (14 and 16) are only about 5 ft 5 in or so. He is ALMOST as tall as them.

I'm curious TDE, if you have a plan to 'jumpstart' your growth once you've reached 20...or are just being hopeful it will happen on its own? How old are you now?

I know it is normal for people to experience a growth spurt in their young
20's, though some also stop at 12-14 yrs and that's it. I (nt female) added 1 1/2 inches in college.

our family...my grandmother was barely 5 ft, my mother was 5' 1, myself 5'3. My father just about 6'. four brothers: 5'8, 5'6, 6'1, 5'10 ish.
my son (ASD) currently 5'11" at age 13 yrs 10 mo's. His growth has slowed a LOT in the last 2 yrs, but I'm still anticipating a pubertal growth spurt. We'll see. His dad was about 6'.

It sounds like you are bothered by your height. true? I think 5'7" is a decent height but I do know it bothered(s) my brother to be 5'6.
