Anyone have a child on the autism spectrum?

Question

I have a 13 year old on the spectrum and intentionally did not have other children because of the risk. But I wasn’t careful. I’m getting excited now that the initial shock is starting to decrease. But I want to decrease my chances as much as possible for another child with autism. Any thoughts? Thank you.

Answer

My first boy had Autism but my second boy doesn’t.

Answer

My child has autism but it’s due to extreme prematurity.

Answer

I did some research about Autism and there are some environmental factors that experts think may increase the chances of having a child on the spectrum however nothing is actually known. More likely a huge genetic component so nothing you can do.
