The registration/profile options allow for only one AS label (i.e. parent/relative of an AS child, AS diganosed, AS undiagnosed etc.) It would be great if we could select more than one option. In my case, several of the options apply, and I am not happy with having an inaccurate profile. Thanks in advance!

Well, 'other autism spectrum disorder' would do in such case, although it is not always the case to be ASD, but other development or learning disorders.

On the other hand, if we are literal, perhaps Neurotypical would do, as it would literal mean, not on the autistic spectrum.

Greenblue, thanks for your reply. THe issue is that AS comes in at various angles (my son is diagnosed with AS, my daughter is currently undergoing assessment, I am undiagnosed but probably on the spectrum as well, my father and brother are like me, and so on). Neurotypical is probably the one option that wouldn't fit. :)

AS undiagnosed or Parent. If you just want to let people know,
then you could make your signature contain the information.
