Things change, people change and situations change its the only constant in the universe.

From your perspective she lied but do you have evidence she didnt really believe what she was saying when she said it?

Most studies show that very intelligent parents produce children about the same as them-- not much higher or lower. The studies I've heard of don't take into account AS though.

Here is my genetic example: my husband has many traits, as a child he could have been dxed, not as an adult, he has an excellent NT emulator. A have more severe traits than he does.

We have five children. 2 have obviously AS traits. A third is extremely difficult and intelligent, but very sociable. The other two are by all appearances NT.

The older AS child is so smart that it freaks people out, he is smarter than either my husband or I am.

I think it would be a great idea for aspies to "inbreed" if they can support their children and give them a safe and comforting childhood.

I read or heard somewhere that people produce smarter kids, like 2 smart people will produce a genius (or smarter kid). I don't know. I think my son will be smarter than my husband and me. I don't know my biological parents. My husband is definitely smarter than his parents. My brother (adoptive) is definitely smarter than his parents. happier too.

I'm not just talking book smarts, because my brother has had less formal education than any of us. But he has more insight, more opinionated, sees the bigger picture.

If it were true that 2 people make a child smarter than them more often than not it would mean the average IQ would have to be adjusted every generation.

Considering people arent significantly smarter (not to be confused with better educated or more knowledgable) than they were 100 years ago you can rest assured you have about a 50/50 chance of your kid being more intelligent than you.

I'm a female, married, and posted in this thread, but I don't know if I'm one of the two females you were asking....
I think finding out how aspie men met their significant others will probably help you more. Generally speaking, it's easier for a woman to find someone to date than it is for a man.

I personally always had too many people interested in dating me, but I think it's got everything to do with being female in a mostly male industry. I've worked in the software and video game industry since I was 19 (I'm 27 now), and there aren't all that many women who "know computers," especially back in the late 1990s. If you're one of 3 female computer geeks in a company with 200 male computer geeks, then you become sort of a hot commodity, just by default.

That's how I met my husband. We were both working at a company that did video game testing. For our "second date" I sat him down on my living room floor and showed him how to crimp CAT5 cables. Only in retrospect do I see how funny that is.

Our child doesn't apparently have Aspergers - he's always been pretty sociable and relaxed about life, but he is dyslexic (diagnosed, moderate, counts as a disability). He's been tested for IQ etc by two Educational Psychologists who put him in the top 2% for intelligence in many areas, just under age average for spelling, writing etc, but clean off the scale for mental processing speed. Lightning fast, in fact. The Ed Psych thought there was something wrong with her computer and re-ran the tests just to be sure before admitting that he was phenomenally fast.
Interesting. It's not much of a statistical sample, but it's interesting.

Two scientist with AS giving their newborn to science.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iq
"Because the heritability of IQ is less than 100%, the IQ of children tends to "regress" towards the mean IQ of the population. That is, high IQ parents tend to have children who are less bright than their parents, whereas low IQ parents tend to have children who are brighter than their parents."
"Thus, if the heritability of IQ is 50%, a couple averaging an IQ of 120 may have children that average around an IQ of 110, assuming that both parents come from a population with a median IQ of 100."


I believe that in most scientific AS articles I have read the IQ of the AS group was lower than the normal (NT) control group. With many of the individuals with AS having an IQ in the lower part of the normal range, I think I belong there myself too. I dont know how good thoos AS study groups represents the IQ range of people with AS, they are people who have been very thoroughly diagnosed and fit very nice with DSM and ICD. Perhaps people with high IQ and AS more often are selfdiagnosed or when diagnosed formally more often deviate to much from the DSM and ICD that they are used for research. Anyone bright who know any more or care to correct me?

nobody intrested in discussing this anymore?
