There's a birth month and autism thread, but I feel that, due to the different hemispheres, it may be a bit difficult to tell who was born in which month (they were talking about the kind of weather possibly corresponding with autism).

So, in the poll, just tell which season (in your hemisphere) you were born in.

I will delete that thread, if I can figure out how.

No, you don't have to. It inspired me to do my own 'experiment'.

You are forgetting that the problem is not only hemispheres - these four seasons only occur is some latitudes, in others you have "dry season" and "wet season".

I was born in August, 25º S; I imagine that this is "dry season" (dry and "cold").

I don't care. The idea of four seasons is more accepted... and thus, I used it.

I feel uncomfortable with being called a "NT" just because I am a non autistic person. Though I have no diagnosis of Autism for now and only demanded to be diagnosed with Dyspraxia for now, I can assure you that I am not NT, there are other neurological differences.

Anyway, I was born in early December, so that's autumn for me. However, I should have been born in late February, making it winter. I do not know whether date of birth is relevant or not for statistics since there are many people who were premature or late.

By the way, the idea of 4 seasons is more accepted in western countries where there are indeed four seasons. I doubt that other countries accept it as a general truth or way to think about the year.

I was born in late autumn (November) and I am an Aspie. Looks like fall is a good season for Asperger's :lol:

Spring and fall seem to tie though, my mother's boyfriend is a textbook case of Asperger's and he was born in the spring,
