I'm at least 50% Chinese, possibly 100%. The other 50% unknown because mom was adopted. She looks Asian, though. Her adoptive mother was Korean, of course that didn't matter to my genes.

Irish, German, and French.
_________

Additionally. on the subject of a gene, I lean more to the theory that the Autism rate is increasing due to the increase of people with high IQs, good education getting married. My father is an engineer, my mother was a bank teller/stay at home mom, but she was a national merit scholar in high school.

I'm 1/4 Cuban + 3/4 European.

I usually just call myself a mutt to be safe.

English/Irish/Scottish so 100% British but I'd love to have a DNA test which can go back centuries. My family name is Armstrong, thieves from the English/Scottish borders :) .

Well as far as epidemiology is concerned, certain cultures are in complete denial of autism/AS, so there's almost no way to accurately measure how ASDs are distributed. I have a very old-fashioned Polish mother, and I'm definitely not telling her my diagnosis.

25% Polish
25% Latvian
50% colonial American

Roma, which means it's possible that in the past millennium I have genes from anywhere between India, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. :P

Same here. My dad designs insulation for oil tanks and my mom is a musician. She went to college when she was 16 and she was a Fulbright scholar at Warsaw Conservatory. Chances are my kids are going to be on the spectrum as well.

Read the Silberman article on this.

No idea about percentages, but from least-to-greatest (within the past few centuries)...

1. German
2. English (close 2nd)
3. Irish
4. Scottish
5. French
6. Some possible East Asian

Unfortunately it seems so. He was, as im told, a officer. And got involved with a young girl, and engaged... he stayed here, after 1814, when the war was over.

And for all of you, who's asking What's Koldinghus? Its a castle that belonged to the Danish king. And were loaned to the troops.
