Asd and a new baby!

Pixie

Hi mamma's..

This is my 2nd pregnancy, I am 8 weeks.

I already have a son who is 3 and has a diagnosis of ASD - He is simply gorgeous, very loving, very active and completely non verbal!

Are there any other parents with children with asd?

How do they cope with younger siblings?

Any tips, advice etc greatly received!

Hoping having a sibling may even help him in certain areas ie social skills and communication.

I am a little anxious as my son can be quite challenging and wants my attention 24/7. I don't want him to get jealous and act negatively towards the baby.

Also, I was wondering if anyone with asd child has gone onto having more with asd or did you go on to have a 'typical child'? As I know that chances of asd goes up 15-20% which each child after having one with asd.

Sorry for the long posts guys! And TIA ❤️
