All of my 4 siblings (2 older sisters, 2 younger brothers) are NT's, as well as my parents. The only other person I know in my family (my mom's side) who has an autistic disorder is my cousin (who's around 30-35 years old). He has classic autism, not Asperger's; he still must live with his parents, and he can't live alone. He's really smart, though, and he taught himself how to read and write by the age of 6 or 7.

Yup! I have an older brother who is 20. He finished his second year at Goldsmiths University, London, and he is doing English there. He is back at home now, taking control as always!
We get on quite well most of the time, have the same silly sense of humour, although sometimes, he says I go too far, when I just think everything is hilarious!
It's funny, he does have one trait of AS - obsessions. He loves murder mystery and crime novels, TV shows, etc, Agatha Christie, cricket, snooker and writing crime fiction. But apart from that he is completely NT.
