Could other family members also have Aspergers or another related neurological disorder?

0

Yes! Asperger Syndrome, as well as other Pervasive Developmental Disorders, is believed to have a genetic basis. This means that other family members across generations may present similar symptoms or have a diagnosis within the family of Pervasive Developmental Disorders. If you know or suspect that there is a history of PDD or AS in your family this can be an indicator that your suspicions may be right and it is helpful to mention it to your doctor if you decide to pursue getting diagnosed.
