I'm 62 and had an autism assessment earlier this week and my autism will be officially confirmed in a few weeks. It appears that my great grandma was probably on the spectrum. My mum is too (but oblivious to the fact and will never be diagnosed. She has had a pretty decent life ) I "inflicted" autism on my daughter. She's doing just fine. And so am I. My granddaughter is also very likely autistic. We're great people.. I feel a bit uncomfortable with the idea of "not making any more" We are different not less.
