My daughter is now 16 but we have had several years of trouble with school mainly ended up taking her out to home school her numerous other problems
Just recently going down the diagnosis route which has made me look hard at my own life I am not diagnosed but all my research tells me I am Autistic myself.
I am now 58 and split from my wife who does'nt understand either of us it explains a lot of how my life has been and still is I find I fully understand my daughter when she tells me how she feels which is a blessing but I keep thinking is it my fault did she inherit it from me I guess I am asking does it run in the family inherited if you will

It is genetic, yes, but I don't think there's anything to feel bad about. You didn't know, and there are far worse things to be than autistic!
If anything, I would say that it just puts you in the very good position of understanding your daughter very well, as you yourself have noticed. That's a really good thing, and not every autistic person can say that somebody understands them that well.
