How many in one family!

topic posted Thu, April 10, 2008 - 8:01 PM by  bard
I have been told that one in every one hundred or so have aspergers. I have it and my ten year old son has it. Now I am watching a little boy just over two years old show the same Attributes. We have a fun Household at times, but usually we function pretty well!
So, we range from Sixty, Ten and Two......all males. No complaints!

    Current stats are badly broken because the current diagnostic criterion are seriously wacked.

    My estimate is that something more like about 7% of the US population is autistic. Not disabled, just autistic.

      What makes one laugh is that there are only 21 million living here in Australia!

        I have it (diagnosed)..my son has it (diagnosed)...his dad has it (diagnosed)...and his auntie (strong traits)-brother and sister...and their dad too (super strong traits)...and my niece, (diagnosed).
        Big indications my mom did, and her mother too.
        Not only does it run in families...but we seem to attract each other like magnets.
        The only men I tune into...all seem really AS.
        sigh
