who here has a twin? and if u do do they also have an autistic spectrum disorder?

also if u do are u monozygotic twins( when a single egg is fertilized to form one zygote which then divides into two separate embryos.)

or

fraternal twins (when two fertilized eggs are implanted in the uterine wall at the same time. The two eggs form two zygotes)

I have an evil twin whose existence is known only to me. Sometimes he knocks me unconscious, dresses in my clothes, goes to school, and takes tests in my place. It's the only possible explanation for why I don't do well. ;)

I don't have one, but I would love an identical twin, that would be sweet. Someone that could actually understand me.

Hh he, me too!

Some people think my sister is my twin, but I think we are very different, and she hasn't showed AS signs or traits, she's very talkative and easygoing.

i have a fraternal twin... as far as i know, the aspie thing skipped her. It actually made life a little easier sometimes growing up. I learned some regular social skills from her and depended on her a lot as a mouthpiece whenever we went places. We were always in separate classes in school; probably a good thing, because we fought like cats and dogs. She had a mean mouth and i had a mean fist and an even meaner bite. I think we baffled each other as to what we understood and didnt understand about each other.

i have been best friends with the same person since the third grade. we have identical eye, hair, and skin tones and are very frequently mistaken for fraternal twins.

he's toeing the AS/NT border. i am quite sure he would not qualify for a diagnosis, but he's got a lot of very mild autistic traits.
