Can autistic parents have their children taken from them just for being autistic?

Not without just cause, no.

What would define just cause? I don't trust our system. I would like to be evaluated as an adult to see exactly where I am on the spectrum at this point and see about maybe getting some help with my severe tactile aversions...but I have children and I'm afraid someone will find me incompetent (not that I think people with autism are - as I said I just don't trust out system). I've been told only that I have some form of autism, not what, and since my mother stormed out of that place and we never went back, I have no formal anything.
