Does anyone know if AS is more common in certain ethnicities? Based on my research, it sounds like the typical Englishman or Swede would be borderline AS.

I was adopted, but after meeting my birthmother at age 36, I went on a big genealogy campaign. Long story short, I've got a lot of Swedish and some English ancestry. I spent a lot of time researching those cultures. Check out books like Culture Shock and Xenophobes Guide for England and Sweden. To me, those nationalities, at least the stereotypes - serious, quiet, unemotional, the stiff upper, it sounds like a possible diagnosis to me.Sent from my iPhoneOn Feb 18, 2011, at 11:24 AM, chris Dunn <christineshello@...> wrote:

Dear Mr. Stein;

People from different countries react differently, slowly just so they will not say somethng that may be condidered rude. Now people from New York say people from Texas are wierd.

There is also what people called "cultural differences" that does not mean they have been diagnosed with Asperger's. From: Stein <harrydubois@...>" " < >Sent: Fri, February 18, 2011 11:54:06 AMSubject: Re: ( ) Aspergers and national origin

No offense to anyone, however are there for example Italian or Hispanic aspies? Somehow I have trouble picturing it, but I may be completely wrong.Sent from my iPhoneOn Feb 18, 2011, at 12:06 PM, " Thornton" <jthorn19@...> wrote:

My adopted son is Hispanic, we had his older siblings through foster care before he was born. Looking back they all showed signs of aspergers, I just didn't know at the time what it was.

I don't think it makes any difference, in every country you have different diagnoses. They do not diagnose based in nationality. That would make things more complicated than they already are.

I am not sure about certain ethnicities where autism is more common. I do know

in the Amish the autism rate is 1 in 15,000. Considering it is 1 in 110 ( or the

army rate of 1 in 96 or the pediatrican association rate of 1 in 91) that is

quite a difference. In many countries around the world the one thing that is the

same is that the autism rate is rising at the rate of around 10% a year.

All,

Autism is related to genetics and not to certain Ethnicities or National Origin. I am not sure, but I never read a scientific paper or any publication about this subject.

The rate is increasing worldwide and fast. Considering this disturbing rate, autism should be included in a worldwide discussion. The World Autism Awareness Day was created 03 years ago, but this excellent initiative is not enough in my opinion.

Best regards,
