It's hard to be sure, obviously... you can never really know. But different body parts grow at different rates, and I started not sleeping much at age 12. My feet are unusually large for my height, my legs are the same length as someone 9 inches taller than me, and the big indicator - when I spread my arms and measure them from fingertip to fingertip, my arm-spread is 5 inches more than my height. They're supposed to be the same. This also explains why I can reach far, far higher than a friend of mine of almost identical height.
So, my body is misproportioned pretty severely. It's not something I normally notice or that looks overly weird, but when you take the measurements, you see the signs.
Now, it's possible I was just going to have big feet and long arms, so maybe I'm just stunted by about 3 inches... but I'm almost surely stunted. Which fits in with the fact that I grew slowly, was massively stressed, didn't get enough food throughout pretty much my entire life, and didn't sleep much from age 12 to 21. And yet I have mysterious health problems... how odd. *G*
