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.

  • Would recommend consulting a doctor about probability rates. It's not always easy to take care of an autistic child (as one might need to find ways to communicate with him/her, need to deal with meltdowns, or consider sensory sensitivities when going outside). But if you are prepared for all the possibilities and would love your child regardless of possible difficulties, then you might already have an answer on how to proceed.
