I don't think a long head has anything to do with autism.
Common signs of autism
There are three distinctive behaviors that characterize autism. Autistic children have difficulties with social interaction, problems with verbal and nonverbal communication, and repetitive behaviors or narrow, obsessive interests. These behaviors can range in impact from mild to disabling.
The hallmark feature of autism is impaired social interaction. Parents are usually the first to notice symptoms of autism in their child. As early as infancy, a baby with autism may be unresponsive to people or focus intently on one item to the exclusion of others for long periods of time. A child with autism may appear to develop normally and then withdraw and become indifferent to social engagement.
Children with autism may fail to respond to their name and often avoid eye contact with other people. They have difficulty interpreting what others are thinking or feeling because they can’t understand social cues, such as tone of voice or facial expressions, and don’t watch other people’s faces for clues about appropriate behavior. They lack empathy.
Many children with autism engage in repetitive movements such as rocking and twirling, or in self-abusive behavior such as biting or head-banging. They also tend to start speaking later than other children and may refer to themselves by name instead of “I” or “me.” Children with autism don’t know how to play interactively with other children. Some speak in a sing-song voice about a narrow range of favorite topics, with little regard for the interests of the person to whom they are speaking.
Many children with autism have a reduced sensitivity to pain, but are abnormally sensitive to sound, touch, or other sensory stimulation. These unusual reactions may contribute to behavioral symptoms such as a resistance to being cuddled or hugged.
Children with autism appear to have a higher than normal risk for certain co-existing conditions, including fragile X syndrome (which causes mental retardation), tuberous sclerosis (in which tumors grow on the brain), epileptic seizures, Tourette syndrome, learning disabilities, and attention deficit disorder. For reasons that are still unclear, about 20 to 30 percent of children with autism develop epilepsy by the time they reach adulthood. While people with schizophrenia may show some autistic-like behavior, their symptoms usually do not appear until the late teens or early adulthood. Most people with schizophrenia also have hallucinations and delusions, which are not found in autism.

I don't have a long head and I have slight form autism. My father and I had the same thing, it has to do with numbers. I see numbers in about everything, even music. I read license plates, also my brother does but my sisters don't. So what does having a long head do with autism?

it is a methods to deep of a topic to ask for help the following. i might want to first verify with a preacher or counselor. I easily have continually been a Christian, and a Methodist follower. God does no longer promise that we stay acceptable lives as Christians or non-Christians. And basically because you do not remember on God, doesn't propose God does no longer exist. It basically signifies that you opt for to push aside him. Autism doesn't propose some thing contained in the eyes of God. It ability some thing contained in the eyes of guy. God knows your soul completely, he knew you before you've been born. He knows you 10 years from now, and inspite of your autism. He sends the Holy Spirit to speak to you and that you'll chat with once you're suffering. continually comprehend, Christians have self belief that Jesus is by no ability a methods away, extraordinarily in situations of warfare, like with Autism. I easily have an Autistic son, and God loves him very a lot and could watch over him continually for me, no matter if i'm there or no longer.

I don't understand the question? If you mean the shape of your head?
The shape of someones head has nothing to do with Autism. It has to do with the size hat you can ware.
If you don't mean the shape of your head, you have a problem!

Could be Fetal Alcohol Syndrome if you have a high forehead. ASD has no symptons that alter physical appearance.
