I'm 32 years old, and I have an 8 month old daughter. I know females will have a lower chance of getting Asperger's than male, so I'm not THAT worried about her, but we are currently talking about getting another kid. So my worries are basicly what the chances for getting a child with AS is when I have AS.
Sorry but if you have AS or if your partner has AS your child is quite likely to inherit it as well. I have 2 daughters who are both spectrumites, as am I & their dad. There's a genetic component for us. My oldest daughter just confirmed with me yesterday she was once again DXd (2nd time around-1st was about 6 years ago) with Aspergers. Some people get mild versions & some have greater impairments.
