I am an Asian male with HFA and I am good friends with another guy who has HFA.

Is there anyone else?

Got one here. Unfortunately, I think I'm the only person I know who has it, let alone having other Asian people with HFA as friends.

although not quite what was asking,used to live with two males who were of pakistani origin and were both in the severe autism spectrum.
theres also the famous; tito mukhopadhyay although again he is in the severe spectrum.
had learnt a bit about how autism is treated/understood in those with islamic beliefs from the guys that lived with, their families had originaly treated them like they were punishments from allah due to the parents sinning.
there were some sort of legal force over one of the lads medication as he had severe challenging behavior and needed medication but the parents never gave it to him so every day when he came to stay at ours [he was a full timer but stayed at his parents every night] he was really raging and he woud take it out on us.
he was verbal and to the outsider coud appear like a neurotypical who was being very badly behaved,and they had always wanted to bring him to pakistan to visit the relatives but they said with his behaviors he woud end up with his hands cut off or worse,one of his behaviors was to sexualy abuse for reaction;females mainly,was the target of his many times and woud deck him in response.

its interesting with how its treated but am only slightly familiar with it in how it affects one part of asia.
