Are you a red-head, or is/was your mother a red-head?

Post Reply New Topic

Have a few redheads on my mother's side of the family (cousins) but noone has ever been diagnosed on the autism spectrum that we are aware of. On my father's side there are many autistics/aspies that have been diagnosed.

You forgot to put in a 'no' option. No redheads here.

No one in my family is except my aunt has a reddish tint (but she died her hair since). However, my hair is turning red. It started out platinum blonde (until age nine), then it went to dark blonde (until age seventeen), and now it's turning red. How weird is that?

My great-grandfather on my dad's side had red hair.

Everyone on my dad's side (including my dad) has black hair and on my mom's side it varies, but it's mainly blonde/dark blonde. I definitely got my mom's coloring out of my parents. My dad's really dark!

Maternal grandmother: a stunning redhead.

Other grandparents -- all dark, dark brown or black.

Nope. We're blonde or brunette.

No, but I LOVE redhead women, especially if they are Irish.

As a baby I had red hair, but it got darker as I got older. It's a nice auburn brown now, although I like to dye it a more reddish auburn. I think red hair is gorgeous and had a fascination with redheads as a child.

No real redheads in my family though. Oddly, my mom had pale blonde hair as a child and it naturally got darker as she got older, and is now almost black O_o (Her eyes also started bright blue and turned green. My family is very odd.)

I think a lot of women dye their hair and one of the choices is red, so that could have been what was going on in the room.

My mom has alot of redhead on her side of the family. She has blue eyes and freckles but her hair is more mousey brown..I think her older brother and younger sister are truer redheads.

I have very dark brown hair...but red highlights come out in the sun.

My grandma was a red-head before her hair got all white. Her daughters aren't, they're both blond like my grandpa.
My father - no idea, something blond or even red maybe, but absolutly NT. At least not an Aspies, I couldn't imagine.

I for one have blond hair.
The autism probably comes from my grandpa, but I'm not so sure on the NT issue with my grandma. She's certainly different too, the super social person.

I have red hair, my brother has red hair, and my Mom has red hair. Me and my brother both have Asperger's. I have many aunts with red hair as well.

Red hair is on the decline though, it is predicted that in just a few more generations there won't be any red-heads at all!

That would be terrible if there were no redheads, it's so pretty

I had my hair dyed red last summer. It actually looked quite nice.
