theories of how u got autism

Post Reply New Topic

i think i got it inherited from my dad.

i like making up weird theories about how i got autism when i get bored as a pass time.

if anyone wants to post their theories feel free

bishamonten gave it to fudo, for an as yet unknown purpose.. one imagines it involves conflict though

Uh.

Pretty sure I was born with it.

Genetic both sides.

Same here.

I have 4 half sisters and none of them are on the spectrum.

Although one of my sisters has an amazing aptitude for memorizing numbers. ( She can look at a credit card and memorize the numbers instantly) and she is ambidextrious. ( I know this doesn't make her an aspie but its still pretty cool)

I think I got it from my mom's side. I have a cousin with low-functioning autism on my mom's side of the family. Also, my dad has two other kids from a previous marriage, and neither of them are on the spectrum.

My great-great-aunt probably had AS.

I was kidnapped by drunk evil mutant ninja gorillas and dropped on my head several times...


Nah, just kidding I was just born with It I think

Huh.
Close relation.

aliens injected me.

WAH WAH.

I remember a thread in the General Autism Discussion that was quite similar to this one, and people came up with really illogical stories just to piss the OP off.

sorry, sorry.
couldn't help myself.

No, please don't be sorry. It is quite entertaining, thread derailing.

the OP suggested weird theories.. pretty much.

i got mine for 3 magic beans

yeah lol the weirder the better i have to come up with some more joke material abou myself.

I'm a pretty good piece of evidence that it's genetic. My Mom isn't an Aspie but has certain anti-social and obsessive characteristics which are similar. By grandfather (on my Mom's side) was never diagnosed, but I suspect he might have Asperger's which he is now capable of hiding--he lacks social skills, is incredibly rude and demeaning to people without realizing it, he prefers to be alone, he has a strange sense of humour, and has intense interests in random things (although these things tend to be very diverse--not as narrow as most Special Interests).

However, another theory I think I've heard about the origin of Asperger's is hormone imbalances in the womb. Mind you, those imbalances might have be partially caused by the genetics of the mother, I suppose.
