genetics; questioning myself and mother

My son is awaiting an ASD diagnosis but its pretty obvious he has autism. With every new day i spend with him i question further and become more convinced that my mother was autistic and that i also have some strong traits.

Im not to sure what to make of this. i dont think id get a diagnosis and i manage ok in life so wouldnt feel the need to anyway but it still troubles me somewhat, especially that my mother may have had it too.

Is there any support or advice for people in this situation. im not sure what im looking for. maybe just to chat to someone and be reassured im not being silly. Its just something i keep thinking about and analysisng.
