I think there must be nurturing factors affecting your ASD... i mean, maybe it's a predisposition that is manifested when exposed to traumas. Or maybe our social skills are impaired, partly, because of out parents' attitude toward us, after all children look at their parents to know how to act in the real world. And if they are violent, abusive, alcoholic or depressed.. then they are probably too buisy thinking about their own problems than to teach the child how to cope with the world. So Aspie characteristics are aggravated. I have a lot of aspies in the family and i noticed most of them have divorced parents, or very ****** up parents.

Maybe the problem is that the parents that have autistic predispositions that they will pass on to their children, are simply terrible parents..
