In addition to Asperger Syndrome, people in my family have/had: Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Diabetes, Cystic Fibrosis, Asthma, and Arthritis (don't know which kind). Lots of Depression and Anxiety too. I think there are other things such as Heart Disease and Cancer, but I don't have much contact with my family so I don't know for sure.
