Yes, Autistic people can 'make' a child just like anyone else.
Autism is a neurological variation, it doesn't prevent someone from reproducing just like a person of any other neurology. Autistic people are more likely to have Autistic offspring, especially if both mother and father are Autistic, but can also have children of different neurologies.

This needs to be determined by you and your husband. Are you willing to have another child with the possibly of autism again? Can you treat both children fairly, even if one was autistic and the other wasn't? Do you have the time and energy to devote to two children, one being autistic? If you want to two children, then you should have two. But you just need to make sure that you ask yourself these questions and make sure that you and your husband can agree with each others answers. Your childrens lives are more important and it is also extremely important that you can equally provide for all your children and that all your children are treated fairly. You also need to make sure that even though your first child may be autistic, that your second child is not neglected because of the extra attention needed to provide for your first-born.
