I have a 4 year old son who is believed to have Asberger's Syndrome or high-functioning Autism. I'm afraid of having a second child in fear of the same thing happening.

Autism is not genetic if it were genetic there wouldn't be an epidemic going on right now. Some children do not have a strong enough system to handle all of the poisons in our food, the air, and vaccines. no one knows which one for sure, but most lean towards vaccines being the cause myself included. to me even if its not the mercury in them it could be all of the other crap in them like aluminum, formaldehyde, gelatin, human serum albumin, antibiotics, egg proteins, yeast proteins etc... in them so I think not having them vaccinated takes a good bit of the risk away or if you're set on vaccinating at least follow a safer vaccine schedule. check out the book by Stephanie Cave called "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Children's Vaccinations".

the two concepts which you're conversing of won't help your newborn probably...it is going to help the healthcare professional to make his bmw fee. I even have had too many ENT's tell me as properly because of the reality the AMA blowing the whistle on those concepts indoors the suited decade as pointless concepts. the different concern that they have have been given have been given right here upon indoors the suited ten years grew to alter into into that the tonsils certainly secrete an anti-carcinogenic enzyme, basically like the appendix do. the upward push in throat maximum cancers and colon maximum cancers is information of that on my own. i might desire to push which you will attempt chiropractic for the ear infections. it rather is reported that 40%+ toddlers bypass to the chiropractor for that reason on my own. make helpful the chiropractor could make sparkling to you why this works, if now no longer they do no longer understand in the event that they are able to or can now no longer. i understand that I even have continuously been waiting to outstanding the ear infections indoors each week. I very final 3 hundred and sixty 5 days had a newborn that had 9 ear infections in a six month era and 11 rounds of antibiotics without help. I adjusted the teenager thrice and had hime cleared up thoroughly. want this helps.

i have a 8 year old son with severe autism, his is limited to about 10 words and no social skills. i was told my chances of having a second child with autism was 1 in 20. we took the gamble and now have a very smart 2 year old little girl who already knows all her ABC's and the sounds they make. it was not an easy decision to make to try again but it was worth the gamble. she has been a great help with her brother in socializing and sharing

I have a child with Autism (age 3). My understanding is that there is a 10% of chance of a sibling having it as well.

Um austism can be genetic...there are doctors out there who can look at both the male and female genotype and see the possibilities of autism occuring. And you perhaps can have other kids WITHOUT it...but you might need to use a different sperm...or let chance play its way. My Guess,the next kid won't have it....its rare. hey those kids are a blessing, i guess only the pressure of them being different, is what might nag at you the most, and how they'll fit into society...

I have a 7 yr old with asperger's and had 2 children after him. We have no concerns with them, If you are worried ask you doctor. I have a friend that has twin boys one has autism on doesnt so Its not always so that all your children will have autism.

Assuming it is with the same father, I heard the odds are more like 4 to 6%. But parental age also increases the risk. From your mid 30s on, the risk goes up & up. I'd say not to risk it if your husband is over 50.

I have two kids. First one OK second one severe autism. I have had him checked and they said he is not genetic. We were not wanting more but if it was genetic we thought that was something his older brother would need to know one day if he decided to have a family.

I have it and my two siblings don't have it. Not to often. Usually first born males.
