Having a baby with my Asperger Boyfriend - Heredity

Hi to all of you !

I am in a relationship with my boyfriend since a couple years now, he is Asperger and we are now thinking about starting a family :)

I am looking for information on statistics and chances that our child develop autism too.
According to what I read on the internet the hereditary factor is quite important, although I cannot find precise statistics. Anyone have any clues?

Thank you!

  • Look at it from this point of view - you're with an Aspie so it can't be all that bad - and if you two function well together, you will be experts in early diagnosis and providing insightful support producing a well-rounded, fully functional, autistic-aware individual.   You child would have the best of both worlds.  Smiley
