I thought it was a good idea to find out what part of the world people here come from so I posted a poll here!

I'm a Southern Hemispherean!

"Oceania" makes it sound like we have fins and webbed feet and spend all our time splashing around on the high seas.

Scandinavia seems to be well represented here. I have seen both Norwegians, Swedes and Danes on other discussions as well. But I think there are far fewer from Southern Europe, probably because most people there do not really understand English. I also have the impression that people from Latin America tend to use their own fora, probably in Spanish.

I think it's more about awareness and diagnosis.

Welcome :)

It would have been interesting to see more people from non-western countries here. It seems like Northern Europe, North-America and Australia are very overrepresented, particularly Scandinavia (considering how few people that actually live here). But maybe our system is better at finding out who has Asperger? It would have been interesting to see some statistics over the proportion of each countries population that has been diagnosed.
