Eco,
Thanks for this. There definitely seems to be a genetic link with ASD. Research going back to the 40's shows evidence of this. In our house, I'm pretty sure that my wife and I are both mildly on the spectrum, but highly-functioning, as they say.
I'll be discussing this testing with our psychiatrist.
I think we are ASD-central at my home, too. It's so much easier as an adult when you can self-select your friends and peers.
I hope your DS feels a lot better, soon. His program sounds stressful--no wonder he's off-kilter. Good luck to you and yours!
