| I don't know how much you know about aspergers but it is genetic, so even family members who are not "aspie" can be considered "boarder-line and have Some aspie traits . What this isn't...is a place to try and "cure" people just because their brains are wired differently . Most of us happen to belie... |

| It's just a social site for people who are on the autistic spectrum and their family or friends. Some times people just talk about issues related to problems they are having because of how other people treat aspies and some like to talk about video games, music, art or their other interests . Pretty... |

| Glad to have you here and yes, there is a genetic factor and most probably you, yourself could be some where on the spectrum. I hope someday soon, there will be more research about how autism presents in females because I believe it can be different in many ways. Stands to reason, considering that w... |
