Would I most likely have a autistic child if we suddenly decide to have a baby with my girlfriend since we both are diagnosed with autism and what is likely that I would have a non-autistic child?

I don't mind which one I end up with, but as long as the baby is in the world and something that I can be proud of for my lifetime.

It's self-explainatory

Yes; a genetic predisposition. You'd have a much higher probability of having an ASD child.
