I'm sorry, it's practically impossible to say.
As I'm sure you're aware, autism has both genetic and environmental causes. The problem is that these causes aren't understood all that well, so drawing conclusions and being able to give you a meaningful answer is not possible.
In theory, a good genetics centre will be able to test you and your partner, assess you and your son and give you a somewhat better answer.
Good luck.

We don't know what the exact causes of autism are so it's impossible to say.
Can you post your son's story on my support group site?

Thanks

I think you need to consult with a geneticist. Your OB should be able to refer you to one. With something as serious as this, I wouldn't rely on the advice of those on Yahoo.
