I am a blue-eyed brunette, hardly ever burn(3-4 times in my entire life since the day I was born), I get really dark(cinnamon/olive) over summer. A small, faint cluster of freckles on my nose. Very few freckles elsewhere, some on my cheeks.
I am an Aspie.
(I suspect my dad is too.)

It is important to be yourself, but, more important to be yourself proudly.

I do not think that AS has anything to do with 'ethnicity' AS is present around the world. It has cultural and biological factors- there is a biological element that all AS individuals have in common with each other. Yet there is also, I think, a cultural element involved. This means that AS might go more noticed in some cultures compared to others. In other words; AS and how it appears can be dependent on the culture.
