My middle toes are longer than both my second and big toes. It's weird. I never wear flip-flops because of it.

[Paedantic Basterd]

I have abnormally small thumbs.

one of my man-boobs is slightly higher than the other (this one's weird)

both of my ring fingers have weird joints

I don't know if this is really a deformity, but I have big wide feet which are very flat. I basically don't have an arch in my foot when I'm standing, and that gets really sore after awhile if I don't have my shoe inserts in. My ankles also get really sore as well. In the morning, my feet are so sore when I stand up because the tendon in the arch is being stretched out.

Since I'm a girl, it also makes it hard to buy shoes. I don't have the money to shop for custom women's shoes, so I often have to buy mens sneakers for everyday wear just because my feet wider than the average woman's foot. As for dress shoes and such, like high heels and flats - those are generally okay size wise, but I can't wear them everyday. I also have custom-molded Birkenstocks (they are the same shape as my inserts), to wear in the summer.

I have a scar on my chin from when my brother hit me with an iron when I was 4, but I cover it with beard

With a score that's higher than say... 24 or such, people usually tend to suspect things already

HSP, AD(h)D, Tourette, even parts of Borderline do overlap with autism quite a lot. So that indeed is no surprise

About physical deformaties I walk with my feet pretty wide (charlie chaplin style) and I can turn my feet way further than 90 degrees to the outside. I can't turn them to the inside as far as most people can. Other than that I have pretty small hands, but nothing shocking.

I have pectis carinatum(spelling?) or pidgeon chest , but whatever, I have a really mild case of it and it's pretty much gone now because I use a brace to help it.

I'm aesthetically challenged. And a nutritional overachiever.

You're giving me a hard time translating that one.
I guess you're saying you're ugly and fat.
And I have the experience that, usually, people tend to think as themselves as uglier and fatter than they are .

My right eye is a bit higher than my left eye. You can only tell when I'm wearing glasses, but it looks super-weird.
