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

          It does not stop us from loving life and those around us.................it is not a disease, we are just hardwired different!

          Why is this a problem? I'm freaking thrilled that I've finally narrowed down my type; I never want to date NT again...

                It's not a problem, it's just incredibly hard to communicate quite often.

                I've never 'dated' an nt in my life....they do not turn me on.

                    Teachers seem to be the Ones that don't want to hear that word, it scares them................because they don't know how to deal with our Son, Aeryk. He is growng his hair long and it is Education Department policy here that it be put in a hair tie. That is well and good, but it hasn't grown long enough at the front to do this. The teacher suggested that he put in more than one, I have spoken to him. The Principal is a condescending type of person that I have already had conflict with. it has gotten to the point that Aeryk mentioned to me that he would like to remove the Cause of the Problem.......I told this to the teacher not to let it get this far.
                    I feel that we will have to remove Aeryk from this school, it is sad for he is such an intelligent child. Who do these Beuracrats think they are!

                    That's funny...in an ironic sort of way.
                    I have had that same problem at times with people.
                    They try to 'read between the lines'...and come up with some strange conclusions...

                            I don't take kindly to beuracracy, they are nothing more than Public Servants Paid by Taxpayers Money. That goes for all of them. It is a little different in this Country, one can bounce a Policeman or Politician if one is in the right. I know, I have done it!
                            I can be Single Minded when I want to be..............hehehe!
