I'll start:

Mom: Asperger Syndrome,Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder,Bipolar Disorder(we think she might have a borderline personality)

Dad: dyslexia

Brother: severe color-blindness,tone deaf

Sister #1: dyslexia

Sister # 2: too young to tell


Grandmother(mom's side): Major Depression

Grandfather:(mom's side): Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder,Attention Deficit Disorder

Aunt(mom's side): Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder,Postpartum Depression

Uncle#1(mom's side): He's paralyzed and in a wheelchair...not sure what you call that

Uncle#2(mom's side): NT

Aunt(mom's side by marriage): Possible OCD

Thier 6 kids are all NT's,but one of them is blind


Grandmother(Dad's side): Nt

Grandfather(daD's side): NT

Aunt(Dad's side): Pathological liar

Uncle(Dad's side by marriage): Anger Issues

Thier son appears NT


And then I have several second-and-on-down cousins that are Bipolar,Obsessive-Complusive,ADHD,and it was rumored that my seventh cousin is a paranoid schizophenic...not sure if THAT'S true,though.


-SpaceCase

ADHD in some cousins, Schizophrenia in my uncle, Depression and OCD for almost everyone.

My entire family is NT.

one brother is bipolar and my grandma has dementia.

I would say that both of my parents (definitly my dad, possibly with my mom) have borderline AS and possible ADD. My little brother, however, has low-functoning autistism and , well, I just don't really like him very much . I belive my uncle (On my mother's side) has high-functoning autisim, though it's not as bad as his kids nor my brother. One of my cousins also has some autisim in him. Not as much as his dad, me, nor my parents, but it isn't as bad as my little brother's. My second cousin . . . well, I don't know what he has but it certainitly isn't NT . My third cousin, I havn't seen her enough to tell for sure.

If you count desesed relatives, My mom has a big sister with severe issues who died from a vessel breaking in her brain (forgot what that's called) when she was 15 (The dead sister, not my mom) or so.

And I think that's about it. I'll post again if I find out about other realitives.

No members of my family are diagnosed with anything, but I think one of my sisters has some kind of disorder/syndrome, she seems very despressed and is always acting strange.

I think PTSD was mentioned by one of her psycholigists.

Mother (died from medication abuse) = crazy & nuts

Father = STRONGLY suspected to be Aspie, has OCD

Oldest Brother = over compensator/Dyslexia

Older brother R = normal

Older brother M = I suspect he's an Aspie (as well as his son), has ADD

Rest of the family = crazy but no specific disorders that I can tell.

None officially dx'd with anything; though my brother had severe learning disabilities when he was a young boy (and very definitely has Aspie traits).

My mother was a social outcast all the way up through her senior year in high school (before I ever even heard of Asperger's: I always thought of myself as having inherited her 'social graces'); very probably an Aspie.

A cousin on my father's side (whom I've always thought of as an uncle because he's so much older than me) has a very narrow range of outward expressiveness, as well as his share of obsessive interests (which fortunately he's been able to transform into a high degree of personal success); I'm positively convinced that he's an Aspie (if he's not: then I've never met one before).

To date: we've all managed to escape any official diagnosis, however (not quite sure how).

Nothing, though I am sure my mother would qualify for something, that is for sure, and she certainly had OCD as I was growing up. I would suggest that she is somewhat AS herself in some ways, but she was borderline in other ways. Quite complicated to figure out.

Father: NT, with some AS traits.
Mother: NT / ADHD.
Sister: NT
Nephews: Too young to tell. They seem NT by now.

Rest of the family: NTs, several of them in the highly/exceptionally gifted range.

Aunt on mum's side has diagnosed Bipolar disorder.

Dad. Undiagnosed Asperger's
Cousin dads side. Undiagnosed Asperger's
Me. Asperger's, anxiety, depression

My brother is diagnosed with dyslexia, that's about it.

my grandmother on my dads side is a paranoid schizophrenic, my brother has ADHD and intermitent explosive disorder and one of my sisters has something but i dont remember what it is
