    Hi Deepthought,

    thank you for your comments. Danielle1992’s comments could definitely have been worded more sensitively. We do, however, need to be understanding to people new to autism and parents concerned about their children’s future. The myth that autism is a condition with only negative connotations continues and we need to break these myths down.

    Regarding your question about moderation, we can only run this community with the support of volunteers and this means we cannot provide around the clock support on the site.
     
    Danielle1992 – Your questions would be best directed to our helpline (phone number: 0808 800 4104) they are open 10am to 4pm Monday to Thursday and 9am to 3pm on Friday. There is an information about genetics on our website here: http://www.autism.org.uk/24984. If you want to meet parents you can find a local branch here: http://www.autism.org.uk/branches.
