Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 What blood type are you? I just read that an informal count shows that people with Asperger's and autism are more likely to have type A.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 O negative if I recall correctly but I don't think blood type (A,B,AB or O) has anything to do with autism as it just indicate the kind of carbohydrate (sugar) found on the surface of blood cells. It might play a role regarding the immune system (the mention about sialic acid is a giveaway in the wikipedia url below, I've seen it mentioned a few times in many publications about the latest influenza) but I don't mean to imply that autistics have any deficiency or superiority regarding the immune system. There are a lot of details in the wikipedia page about blood type: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABO_blood_group This week, I'm slightly less busy so if you have more questions regarding biology, I should be able to provide answers.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I'm A+ too, but I wonder... A is a very common blood type, and most people are +. So is an autistic more likely than the general population to have A+ blood, and is this increased likelihood large enough to be statistically significant rather than the chance factors in random sampling? That is, is Probability(A+ blood | autistic) = Probability (A+ blood)? I tried the link to find out, but the link didn't work. Joni PASS IT ON!

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Go to your local Blood donation center and give some blood. I think its the easiest way for you to get your blood type.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 You're not that different. As I mentioned the other day, I'm an O- myself, and I usually get priority treatment at blood banks because type O- is a universal donor and it's not the most common blood type out there. The only bad part is that I can only receive from someone of the same blood type. _____ From: AutisticSpectrumTreeHouse [mailto:AutisticSpectrumTreeHouse ] On Behalf Of Jane Meyerding Sent: Saturday, December 09, 2006 3:44 PM To: AutisticSpectrumTreeHouse Subject: Re: blood type Zola wrote: >Heh I guess I get to be different again.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 would be a great idea to do that, but they will not let me as i am borderline anemic. which is the reason i have never gone to a blood bank to get my blood type. i also take quite a few meds., another reason they wouldnt take my donated blood. i have gone there before and they will not even test for type if i cannot donate. thanks for the idea though. natalie M Wilkins wrote: Go to your local Blood donation center and give some blood.

If you take " quite a few meds, " you should be getting some blood tests done every year. (My doctor has mine tested annually, and I don't take much other than a NSAI.) Maybe when you get your blood tested you could ask them to tell you the type. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Sorry, I didn't think of that. I havn't given since I've been on cymbalta, it may keep me from giving too.
