some variant of AS is in my mother and my sibs and me. one exception is my black sheep older brother whom I long have suspected as being a sociopath. I have the worst traits of them all, the others are comparatively mild in comparison.

I have 23andme, ftdna, and livewello.

The first two are genetic profiling services, which (in part) generate raw data.

In upload this, into livewello's library of mutations.

God help me, if there is ever a Gattaca.
