Is autism hereditary?

My niece and nephew are. I don't want to make more.Not a nice experience.

  • Autism is hereditary, but it had no real bearing on my own decision not to have kids. I think having family members who understand you is really important, so the hereditary nature of autism probably helps in some ways.

    And no, being autistic isn't always a fun time... but we still deserve to be here. We have as much right to exist as anyone else does.
