Here is another indication of Aspergers that I ran across here and thought that others might like to look at it in connection with their scores on the Aspergers test Roko supplied. Interestingly I was normal on the previous test but have a lot of these features.
The most common structural (morphological) features found in the ASD children included:
Sandal gap toes (59%) Facial asymmetry (46%) Abnormal non-frontal hair whorl (39%) High narrow palate (37%) Attached ear lobes (35%) Hypermobile joints (33%)
Some morphological features were found in the ASD that were absent in the 224 controls including:
Brachycephaly,
Mouth asymmetry,
Eyes asymmetry, Ear lobe crease,
Macrostomia (large mouth), Limited facial expression, Open mouth appearance, Abnormal whorl, Prominent lower jaw
For anyone curious about the original source for this: it's 'Morphological Features in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Matched Case–Control Study' in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders. (It looks like it's just an electronic preprint that's online - I don't see volume and issue numbers.)
Thank you cupholder for adding the source link.
