Guest guest Posted March 5, 2005 Report Posted March 5, 2005 Hi Kathy, I also have this confusion with green and also with grey. I never agree with others on those colours. So I like old people: they have all green hair : ) Lida Re: Re: AS and testosterone I thought that women were never color blind, only men, because of the genetic code women are only carriers never actually affected.FAM Secret Society is a community based on respect, friendship, support and acceptance.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 I am a member of a couple of AS and general austism groups in the midwest. They say that most adults have to self diagnose themselves because there has been too many years of socialization and learned cause and effect... You either relate to AS when you read about it, or you don't > > Didn't you mention that you were unable to get a diagnosis? Were > you given a reason?

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 If the mother is a carrier and the father is colorblind then the girl children may be color blind. I say " may be " because people pass down only half of their genetic material and for a carrier, one half has the colorblind gene, but the other half doesn't. My parents explained that any male children I have would have a good chance of being colorblind, but I would not have any colorblind girls unless their father was also colorblind. Ilah > > > > >4.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 I should have read everything before I replied. You explained it much better that me. Ilah > If you get a copy of the color blind genetics on both X chromosomes then you will be color blind and female. It is less common in women because you need two copies in women. For men, they only have one X chromosome normally, and the genetic section for color vision does not appear on the Y chromosome so a male child of a female carrier has a 50% chance of being color blind. A female child of a color blind female has a 50% chance of being color blind if the father is not. A child of two color blind parents has a 100% chance of colorblindness. A male child of a color blind female has a 100% chance of colorblindness because his father does not provide an X chromosome to him. > > (My grandfather was fully colorblind, and many relatives have color distinction problems. My problems are with blue and green, but only certain shades.) > > Kathy J. > > Re: Re: AS and testosterone > > > I thought that women were never color blind, only men, because of the genetic code women are only carriers never actually affected.
