Is this a form of genetic inherited asbergers syndrome?

In this family (several generations) about 2/3 of the girls have psychological problems but are quite creative and 50% of the boys have a slight to moderate learning disability and problems with balance. Those not afflicted seem okay. Both sexes seem to carry the genetic problem that randomly affects any children they have. The boys affected have moonish looking faces but not as severe as downs children. Could this be Asbergers Syndrome or are there any other ideas? I thought it must be some form of high-level autism, which is why I thought about Asbergers. With so many affected it must have a genetic component. My fear is or course for the future siblings of the current generation and what to tell them about procreation risks. Genetic profiling has been suggested but I know of no definitive genetic test for Asbergers or any way of prenatal determination of this.

This family looks unusual as the affected numbers a very high. One symptom is shyness in the girls when young who were all seen by the family as "quiet" some being bullied at school as a result. One girl has gone on to become bulimic and has other OCD problems. The boys all needed considerable support growing up. All are independent by their late teens although fixated by relatively narrow interests. Only the boys have the balance problems and an unusual gait but this varies in severity between individuals. One being thought to be flatfooted another being very unstable on stairs and ladders having no spatial concept of where the steps/rungs are without direct vision. Any help in understanding this would be appreciated, thank you.

This is WAY to complex for laymen to comment on on-line...would be just guesses anyway. You need to speak to your family doctor about a consult with a genetecist. There may be no test for Ausberger's, but, then you don't know that is what it is. Before having more children, please ask to speak to a genetics counsellor for your peace of mind. Most OB docs can do this referral. Hope things go well for you.
