Broad Autism Phenotype? Hadn't come across that one before. As for it being in my lineage, I'd say signs are pretty good in that direction. If you have a large group of related people, none of whom are very inclined or have much ability to be social; all of whom present some form of anxiety-driven b...

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I think part of the pushback from my family is that we do have a pretty extensive history of mental health issues, most of which have never been fully diagnosed but seem to have some relationship to anxiety and/or depression.

I don't know that a power imbalance is inherent to AS/NT relationships. After all, AS people are often very strong personalities. Perhaps too much so. It's not so much a moral question, to me, as it is one of both parties being informed and having some idea of what to expect. There are certain aspec...
