I don't think the heatwave was a co-incidence, Ren
Not that I mean I'd see you as a newborn infant and think 'she's hot' (adorable, sure, but the hot, that needs a few years to evolve into the finished article obviously haha)
Really, you could easily have said you were 25, or somewhere between 20-25, maybe as young as 18-19, and I'd have believed you.
It can't only be me, I've mentioned it before, but you must have a bit of that anti-aging factor thingy that seems to pop up in the occasional spazz. Usually classic autie, and all but one time I've seen the phenomenon, it has been in a female, the only male would be the also classically autie brother of this girl I know from our school days, that makes me double-take, mentally speaking, for still finding her really attractive, despite that she doesn't look a day over about 11. Older than I am, but she just doesn't look like she is, or sound like it, with her voice coming out as a kind of high pitched squeak, its rather endearing actually. Her brother is also someone who expresses this spazz in stasis trait, I never really knew him well, well enough to know they were brother and sister, so any friend of hers, is one of mine, or at least someone worth my respect and who I'd look out for, just for being related to someone I value as a general principle. But we were in different buildings in the spesh school, same school, different subunit.
But I'd have known his face there, etc., and he too, still looks no older than he did when I left the school and he was recently starting there; not sure how old he actually is, compared to his sister, but both of them, its so intensely expressed a trait in both of them that it is like looking at a photograph, its eerie and uncanny.
