More anecdote:<p>8 year boy on the spectrum. I&#x27;m tech. Wife is doctor. In a traditional school, boy has challenges (also is diagnosed with ADHD). Had him test, very high IQ. Super into science (outer space, oceans, physics etc) and has almost encyclopedic knowledge of those topics. In a STEAM based school, is super engaged.<p>We both suspect that wife&#x27;s father is on the spectrum. Both wife and I exhibit traits but probably wouldn&#x27;t qualify as being ASD.<p>Wife and I met in high school. Ethnically we are nothing alike (I&#x27;m northern European, she&#x27;s a mix of African and eastern European).<p>We have two younger kids who appear NT at this point.
