I AM TWO OF THEM HOW DO I VOTE

I HAVE AS AND MY CHILDREN

LOL

[jo4themo]

I am a mum of three - eldest daughter has Aspergers. Hubby shows some traits of ASD but is not diagnosed. Nobody else in family - both close and distant- are on the spectrum, but my husband's half brother (they share the same dad) has ADHD.

NT Mum of two, ASD Son aged 5 and NT (and so dramatic!) 3 year old Daughter, Hubby has DX'd Aspie traits!

 

I am the one who needs certification though!

[wishingwell]

Son has AS, his dad has AS and when young had ADHD, mother on his dads side AS, sister on dads side AS, niece on dads side AS + ADHD , 3 uncles on fathers side AS, plus their mother (great granny) has AS. I'm left in no doubt where my DS gets his. He started showing signs around 5 days old. My in-laws told me he was fine all their kids where difficult children .

 

I spent the 1st 4 years like this and was very relieved when he was diagnosed i wasn't going mad after all.

[ScienceGeek]

I saw someone else was looking at this so thought would fill in the poll anyway. I put other. I have 1 aunt, 1 uncle, 6 cousins, 4 second cousins, 2 good friends and possibly me on the spectrum. Oh yeah and OCD gf.

[sarahponari1]

I have voted as an ASD person, but i am also a parent to an ASD person

[Martin Howe]

I voted ASD person (AS in my case); many family were eccentrics, two in particular, plus one with dyslexia, and one had same handwriting problems as me and admits to recognising some of the usual AS traits in after researching it when I was dx. Whether these family members are ASD or just oddball NTs, who knows, but let's say it could explain a lot.

 

Oh and the cats of course, that goes without saying

 

[trekster]

i also fit "daughter to ASD person" and "professional working in field of autism" ok im volunteering at NAS social groups but could become NAS material if i play my cards right.

 

i ticked ASD person. i would have preferred to tick autistic/asperger but i hear there are types who don't like being called autistic for some reason.

[Boy]

I ticked ASD person, but I also work in a school where I do 1:1 with autistic children at lunch times (have done these one-to-ones with four autistic children over the past year and one little girl with Down's for different periods of time, depending on the situation).

[sesley]

I have 9 soon to be 10 high functioning ASD son. He is the most challenging perosn with autism his manistream school has aver had.

[Special_talent123]

I voted ' ASD Person' because I have been diagnosed with autism

[Chris P]

I am ASD,

partner to someone with ASD,

sibling to someone with ASD,

parent of someone with ASD,
