I inherited it down my father's line.

My mother is NT and so is my sister.

I don't know because I'm adopted. None of my current family members have AS to my knowledge.

This question of heredity is very important. If AS runs in the family it is likely that your family life has been very difficult, sometimes a hell. You receive a c omposite dose, so to say, of disturbance: genetic and environmental. I have not read much on the ways
they intermingle and produce often a devastating disruption. If, when I was a child, my parents had got that I was not "special" fot my fault, and had been treated in consequence, my life wuould have been different. But my father was certainly an AS and probably my mother and my grand parents. My father reaction to my being "special" was of violent e persecutory rejection. I only wanted to fly far from my family. But it wasnt easy at all. I spent all my life in flyng, but without wings.
