i guess its not really a surprize i have aspergers. i mean almost everyone on his side of the family has aspergers, generation after generation of aspies!! !! its awesome having an aspie dad tho. we geek out and watch our nerd shows n he shows me the coolest books. i guess being an aspie is cooler when you're surounded by aspies :)

I'm the only one who has been diagnosed, so I can't really say. Some people in my family've displayed some traits and have been/are likely to have it though.

I'm the only one diagnosed with it too. My dad has traits which is poor social skills and I have relatives who have traits and could have it.

Both of my parents, along with a few more of my relatives, have a few traits, but I'm the only one with an actual diagnosis.

We have a family of 6 and 5 of us are aspies for sure. My mom displays traits and she suspects it in her self. She would probably be much more on the mild side. I also have cousins and uncles on the spectrum.

i believe my brother and father have it, mildly, maybe even very mildly and i'm not sure about my younger niece, but if she does have it then it's real, real mild.

my father, my mother, my mothers mother, my fathers brother, my two sons and two daughters, my sisters son…. and me.

only me and my kids are official certified aspies… the rest are having all the traits.
