You know the saying you're only as old as you feel? My thought (which I've only given thought to since reading your post) is that maybe those people with MR who have a younger mental capacity look younger because they are younger mentally. Mind over matter, you know? I always have people tell me I look much younger than I am (I'm not bragging, really! lol!) and I think it's because I feel younger. Most of the time I try to not act my age (except for when I have to.) I always say I feel like a 12/14 year old in a 30 year old body. Sometimes I can't believe I'm 30, cause I sure as hell don't feel like it!
