What are you so afraid of ? Why wouldn't you 'handle it well' if your child was autistic ? Please see my above post to understand what I am so afraid of. I know my husband and I wouldn't be good parents to a low functioning, non-verbal autistic child because we are both very emotionally weak people...

Having lived with autism for more than 50 years, I'm highly offended by the angst over the idea that your child might be different than the average. I'm sorry, and apologize for offending you or anyone else, that was not my intention at all. I don't care if I have a child that is very different fro...

Unfortunately our next door neighbors are a couple with a low functioning autistic child, about 7 years old. They complain constantly about him, as he is non-verbal, self-abusive and requires so much attentio...

You may have a slightly higher risk of having an autistic child, but it's probably lower than if there was any sort of long term drug addiction. Other than very occasionally smoking pot, I haven't done any drugs. My h...

I'm confused. Are you autistic? Do you have the love to give and the ability to commit to raising a baby. Isn't there a greater likelihood that your baby will inherit your propensity towards depression rather than autism? . I honestly don't know if I'm autistic, (mild aspergers maybe??) but I am de...

Please don't judge me, but I'm in an early pregnancy and trying to decide whether or not to proceed or terminate. I'm 43, 30 lbs. overweight, and depressed. Prior to conceiving, I had a physical exam and was told all is well except for a severe Vitamin D deficiency. Surprise surprise and a few weeks...
