A suggestion for polls/surveys

Post Reply New Topic

I have noticed a pattern. A LOT of people here said that one or more parents showed autistic or AS symptoms. Maybe polls should query on that.

It occurs to me that AS might be DOMINANT! If it was dominant, and there was one parent, there would only be a 50/50 chance of the kid having those symptoms. ALSO, since it was originally rare, and there is less mating between AS people, it would figure it would APPEAR recessive. It is like blood type, in a way. I have one of the most rare blood types, and there is a 50% chance of my having a (A or B), or AB child. Also, any A person marrying a B or AB has almost a 50-100% chance of having an AB child.

Yet AB and B remain a very small part of the population just because of mating choices, and original percentages.

Should run in your family or you can rule it out there and then - you also got to know not everyone show's up on the outside of having autistic or AS ... so if your looking for the outside sign's it's a bad way to do it... My farther has it but he does not live with me he left at 1 moved to Germany, but at around about 18 he had a talk with me and he seemed to know what was wrong with me..., but he didn’t exactly tell me but he got tested too when I got tested…


I have it but my brother does not...

"" Also another family had 3 sons with it and 2 daughters not... ""

He's a computer programmer at Siemens...

Mind you you can only test people who are alive and follow the people who have been said to have it on the testing...

Also helps if you had old videos of your family and photo's and maybe diarys... and so on...

no, I was looking for a TREND, so 100% correlation isn't necesary. ALSO, symptoms. My father earlier seemed smart, and lived a recluse type lifestyle. He also sounded like someone with AS. His lack of understanding of me, and current circumstances make me think he doesn't have AS, but he DID have some AS behaviour/traits.

Over half of my family from parents, grandparents, greatgrandparents and cousins all show Aspie tendencies. My step sister (no blood relation) has a diagnosed Aspie son. No one in my family thinks I'm that weird because they're all weird too.
