And I'm sorry if you think I'm personalising this discussion. I realize that there are other dynamics at play in this particular thread and with RM. Still, though, I stand by what I said. I think the question you asked -- "As a person with AS why would you even consider bringing a child into the world?" -- was out of line and bordered on offensive. And as I think you would agree, we are both in a position to say whatever we want to say on a message board that is open to the public.

To your first sentence: while I know Wiki is not always the best source, many times it is. This is the statement I read there: Asperger described common symptoms among his patients' family members, especially fathers, and research supports this observation and suggests a genetic contribution to Asperger syndrome.
To your second paragraph: so noted.
