Does Radha Mitchell have Asperger's Syndrome?
From interviews with her about the movie Mozart and the Whale in which she played a character with Asperger's Syndrome, it would seem very unlikely that she has it. She said that she learned about autism and Asperger's Syndrome when working on the movie. She also explained that "they" (people with autism or Asperger's Syndrome) see the world from a different perspective. She seems to use "they" and "their" for people with autism or Asperger's Syndrome, while using "we" and "us" for people without autism or Asperger's Syndrome, so I would assume that she does not have it.

Is Asperger syndrome genetic?
Response:There is a genetic component to Asperger's Syndrome. If you have a blood relative with autism or Asperger's Syndrome, you are more likely than average to have a child with autism or Asperger's Syndrome, but it does not mean that you will. If both parents have autism or Asperger's Syndrome, there is an even greater likelihood that they will have children with autism or Asperger's Syndrome, but it does not mean that all or any of their children will. Ongoing research is attempting to determine causes of autism spectrum disorders, but there are still many unanswered questions.I think that there is a strong genetic component to Asperger's Syndrome. Ever since I found that I had it I have begun to notice many of my family members who behave somewhat eccentrically. My father definitely has it. As do most of my relatives on my father's side to some degree or the other.Response:Yes! Asperger's Syndrome is definitely genetic! It's a 50-50 possibility my paternal grandmother had it, because she was "eccentric" herself!Response:There is a strong genetic component as shown in twin studies, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you will inherit it from your parents, or that your children will inherit from you, only that you have a higher likelihood of having AS than the general population if someone in your family has AS or autism.If you have one child with autism or AS, there is an increased chance that a second child will have autism or AS. If you have two children with autism or AS, it is much more likely that your other children will also have autism or AS.
