| Aspie is a form of shock, hard-wired into the brain and a permenent disfunction of the individual due to a huge moment of fear or many moments of fearsome episodes. The tendence to run, fight or go Aspie is genetically determined but of course culture plays a big role. What is culture but a societa... |

| sorry to blow your theory, but my grandma (I'm adopted, so no genetics involved here, ok?) was norwegian and was the heart of her lutheran church. She was the kind of lady whom everybody called 'grandma'.... so, there is at least one norwegian who was not at all socially akward. Her son, my step-fa... |

| I been reading all these post and my conclusion is that I may be part German, British or Japanese (which I highly doubt). There's always the chance of having Finn Genes on me though. Where my parents are from, rumor (and Wikipedia) has it that, Russian, Arab, European and Asian immigrants intermarr... |

| In other words, Scandinavians will pull back and protect their world when challenged with a threat. They all do that. It's why they get called cold or robotic. From the viewpoint of other genotypes it certainly must appear as cold or robotic but more accuratly, it's a coping strategy of protection ... |

| Everybody knows Scandinavian's are just kinda Aspie As an Aspie from what many here refer to as "Aspie lands", I can ensure you, not everyone are Aspie here. Not by a long shot. Restricted in body language, yes, but that's culture, not genetics. If you say hello to someone at the bus, they look at ... |

| It's possible there could be more than one Asperger's. The Scandinavian one and maybe other ones that are somewhat different. But I don't know really, just a wild guess. It's just something I observed really. When you get enough experience with people from all demographics you almost have to come t... |

| I don't know, you can't judge a book by its cover. So even if there may be people on WP "faking" being on the autism spectrum, unless you live their life/know them in person, in my opinion, there is no way for you to judge if what they say is true or not. So I don't see the point of the debate. Any... |

If I had to guess what we Aspie's ultimatly love/hate it would be
Hate: The social isolation, pain of feeling weird.
Love: The idea of being "special/different" ect. |
