Well, if you mean the Jewish part or the circumcision part is related to the

behavior...then you should get to know more Jews! Some like the Chabad

(very observant to the extreme) are quite Pentecostal in their worship style

and can be very friendly people. Perhaps it is your family's

dysfunctionalism. By the way, I've seem circumcisions done the medical way

and the " jewish " way and would pick the " jewish " way any time over the

other...the shot in the penis and wearing the bell made my son cry much more

that the Jewish way with a Mohel. When the Mohel does it...the baby rarely

cries more than a few moments. The trauma is not severe as you are

assuming. But I don't have time to debate something I think not everyone

should do anyway. But I just wanted you to realize that Jews can't really

be put in a box like that and more than we can do that to any race or

group...maybe just your Dad's side of the family.

These people are relatives on my dad's side of the family, which is Jewish.

A lot of the men in that family are withdrawn socially, not necessarily

someone you'd always want to take to a buzzing party, although there is only

1 other case of suspected aspergers (the boy's uncle). They lack any and all

charm, and often say things you wouldn't expect in a social situation. They

have no empathy with others, they can't put themselves in someone else's

place to imagine how they might be feeling.

The women are the total opposite and are generally known to be bossy and

outgoing (yep, like me!) but very nice people.

Now, in the UK, boys don't get circumcised as a matter of course unless they

are Jewish, when it is done without anaesthetic. I have wondered if this

withdrawal behaviour, the stomach contraction, the aspergers etc is linked

to that severe trauma when they are babies, and that is why I see these

symptoms only in the men. Something which backs this up is that as my dad

does not keep the jewish faith, neither of my 2 brothers was circumcised -

neither shows signs of even a hint of aspergers - they are bossy and

outgoing like me.

Cousins of the same generation/age group who were circumcised do show signs.

So this has turned out rather longer than I anticipated, but I'd be

interested in hearing anyone's thoughts!

I'm not putting people in a box. I'm making comments about my

observations of my family. I was just interested in the discussion.
