Just wondering if I am the only asian using this discussion forum ?

I'm asian! Full chinese. Well kinda evident in my screen name although that is not my real name.

My parents are from Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh.
South asian, probably not what you're looking for.

Though i think it counts

<--- Part Asian.

It's interesting when speaking about Asians and aspies. I was thinking about how, in the Asian culture, they don't come out and say bluntly what they mean which is, of course, hard for a black & white aspie thinker. For instance, the aspie could be in a room watching TV with the volume on high. The Asian, a more traditional and/or older one anyway, would say something like, "Imagine a world where you have been suddenly blinded. Just think, in that expanse of black nothingness, your reliance on your hearing in tantamount to your survival." In other words, turn that damn TV down!

I grew up playing a lot of video games, watching movies and studying a lot. Im not sure if those things contributed to my Aspie condition.

When Im with white friends I can't have a conversation for more than 5 minutes, and even if I do have a long conversation, it would be about my problems or anything academic

Hi all, I'm Asian.

Might be harder to be an aspie in China for example.
From what I've gathered, people that aren't "normal" tend to get shunned by the society.

I don't think it would be harder. If anything your more than likely going to blend in with the white collar class.

From living in China for 6 months, I found that the white collar class don't read social clues and emotions well, but the blue collar class (e.g. nannies, cooks, cleaners) pick up on them much faster.

Studying, watching movies and playing video games are common activities there as well

Im speaking about people who have never been educated or lived in a western country.
If the person is more westernised they obviously can read social cues better

Taiwanese here.

Namaste i am from India

half japan here, and half switzerland... how r u??

Good. Not only Im happy to be hear that Im not the only asian on this forum, but also that our cultural group is being honest about the problems we face.

As redrobin said earlier, a problem our older generation is their not honest and straightfoward about problems

Without criticising or discriminating anyone here, would those of you who studied hard say that it had an affect on your condition?

Im just curious cause I've gone through all that, plus living a hermit lifestyle, so Im just wondering if environment plays a large part

negative, but it's entirely optional for you to answer this question

I'm Asian! Vietnamese and Chinese.

It's odd though. The site in general seems to lack Asians, but the thread where I post a lot (well, used to post a lot I guess) on this site has quite a bit of Asian WPers.
