Am wondering what percentage of us who are diagnosed or self-diagnosed have this bump at the back of the skull known as an occipital bun?

I have one.

Can't vote more than once, but our family are all Aspies and all have had one, across several generations. Neanderthal throwback? Ook!

I definitely have one.

But keep in mind, when you ask a poll question like this it's going to be heavily biased towards those who have it. Those who don't are likely to skip over the thread completely.

Don't we all have this? All humans, I mean? I have one, but I can't be sure how "prominent" it is (does it stick out enough to qualify as a bun)...

When it's just a little lobe.

Wikipedia quotes one guy describing it as a "spatial storage problem."

...like a pop-out on a mobile home.

So, this isn't a brainy term of endearment?

I have some male friends with very prominent nuchal crests. But they don't drag their knuckles on the ground or anything...

I'm still trying to figure out what this huge lump between my shoulders is, and what it's for. :P

Seriously though, I wouldn't know how to tell if I had one. No clue if I do or not.
