trance Report post Posted June 5, 2006 Hi all I posted a while back and still awaiting that referral for the asd with his teacher and ed pysch saying he doesnt display asd traits!! All I say is try living with him. Meanwhile my partner went for an adhd referral and they are investigating this and also said he maybe aspergers which came as a total shock to him and us although makes sense now. So can asd and aspergers be genetic like adhd? as both son and partner are like 2 peas in a pod!!! Hope you are all keeping well. I tried to come on a while ago but was shut because of the hacker thing. xx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zemanski Report post Posted June 5, 2006 yes it does have a genetic factor but also probably environmental triggers. http://www.asd-forum.org.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=8512 Z Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yoyo Report post Posted June 5, 2006 'So can asd and aspergers be genetic like adhd? ' I believe ASD and AS are genetically inherited. You say your partner and son are like peas in a pod. I was adopted and only met my AS natural father two years ago. Even though I was not brought up by him and knew nothing about AS other than that my adoptive mother said I was not right in the head, my father and I are exactly alike in every respect including our AS traits. One of his sons has AS and his granddaughter also has AS. Yoyo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
