What are the chances of having an autistic child?

NAS62914

Finally getting around to thinking about having children. I have autism, diagnosed as an adult two years ago. What are the chances of me having a child with autism if my partner is neurotypical and what are the chances of that child having severe autism? Mine is mild Aspergers and I am a woman. Thanks.

  • I'm not sure but my situation is my son was diagnosed with autism. Then much later I realised why we are so much alike and a gp mentioned potential autism. I'm pretty sure my husband also has autism too. We both come from an age where unless severe you slip under the radar
