could there be a connection between homosexuality and aspergers?

Question

Could a person have a mild case of aspergers and not realize it?

Answer 1

Unclear: In Asperger girls (aspergirls) there does seem to be a higher percentage of homosexuality but clear research is this area has not been completed. Aspergirls is a good book to review for girls. Have not run into anything for males but will keep you posted if i do. Here is my take on the subject. http://youtu.be/xg1ngp1ngds.

Answer 2

Why do you ask?: Teens are often cruel to one another, and a peer who is "different" because of shyness, focus on academics or some other interest, uncoordinated, or lack of social skills -- as Asperger kids are -- is going to be called "gay". Truth be told, both "high functioning autism" and "homosexuality" are a continuum with "normal", and wherever a person falls on either line is their personal gift.

Answer 3

Yes: It would be extremely surprising if it did not change. Bringing a new person into a household is a huge event that will change relationships. Your marriage's new & important task - childrearing - this is a lot of new work (and huge rewards!) that the two of you must learn to share. You both have to realize that you are no longer the most important member of this family- parenting takes partners.

Answer 4

Yes: Having a new member enter your family is a major change! both of you are sleep deprieved and probably most of your conversations revolve around the baby. Remember to keep up your own relationship with the occasional date night and aim for baby to have an early bedtime so that the two of you can have some time alone together.

Answer 5

Yes: Oh my goodness, says the married mom doctor! lots of things will change, but especially that one! it's not necessarily bad, but hang in there and remember to actively schedule time for the two of you together! for quite a while you will feel physically/sexually different. Baby demands so much of your energy/time/body. But put effort into maintaining that relationship, make time for it!

Answer 6

Yes: Yes! everything changes after the birth of your child! the focus shifts from the marital relationship to the baby! your baby's needs take precedence. The roles in the family shift. There are a variety of stresses in play here, from financial changes to the emotional changes of adjusting your new life. But remember to still put your marriage first and your child second, not the other way around!

Answer 7

Nothing direct: Lupus (sle) is autoimmunity. Allergies is hypersensitivity of your immune system. Autoimmunity does cause immune dysregulation, which may confer to hypersensitivity, but again, I am unsure that the prevalence of "allergies" in sle is any higher than the general public. Sle does commonly cause skin issues, which may be confused with allergies.

Answer 8

Immune system: Both conditions are disorders of immune tolerance. This is a mechanism that controls the triggering of the immune response and inflmmation. When the immune response is against our own tissues, autoimmune disorders such as lupus develop. When the immune response develops against benign substances of the environment such as pollen, we develop allergies.

Answer 9

Common regardless: Sexually transmitted diseases are common in any individual who is not in a strictly monogomus relationship, has had more than one sexual partner, and has unprotected sexual contact regardless of sexual orientation.

Answer 10

YES: Stds can result from sexual contact whether it is homosexual or heterosexual. The best protection is to always use barrier protection such as condoms.

Answer 11

No: STDs are most common in people who have unprotected sex with multiple partners. Each STD has its own predilection for sub-segments of the population and there are some differences in susceptibility between males and females. If you are careful, and use protection, then man or woman, gay or straight, you never have to worry about STDs.

Answer 12

Not usually: But any stress can trigger af in certain peopl.

Answer 13

Hypotn decreares fxn: Low blood presure to the kidneys causes the kidneys to malfuntion. The kidneys need a large blood volume with an adequate pressure to perfuse and function properly. When the BP is low the kidneys hold on to fluids and urine out put drops. The BUN and cr are elevated indicating a back up of waste and when it goes on longperiod of time its called atn or acute tubular necrosis. If no relief dialysis.

Answer 14

Less blood delivered: To the kidneys means less filtering.
