I have an Autistic son, is it true the condition can run in families?
I have an Autistic son, is it true the condition can run in families?
I've heard a lot about more than one member of the family having autism so I think it could be true. I'm not sure though. I'm the only one of my family to have been diagnosed with autism but as soon as I got a diagnosis, we all felt like we got a diagnosis as we didn't know about it before and most my family have the social and routine problems. So it actually helped all of us a lot in learning to strategise on ways to cope.
