Yes this is possible but this depends on how much autism the father has and so then it may go to the child in the mothers womb and this also depends if the mother has autism . Hope this helped:D

Autism is a neurological difference so like skin colour, eye colour, etc. it is determined primarily by genetics. Thus if a parent is Autistic it is more likely that they will have an Autistic child, and it is often associated with the father. But being Autistic doesn't necessarily mean that you will have an Autistic child.

Yes, Autistic people will often have Autistic children - but we can also have neurotypical children. Autism is genetic so an Autistic parent or two Autistic parents may be more likely to have Autistic offspring. However we aren't sure of specific genes involved so don't know the chances of this.

I am afraid that the risk is very high. Autism may be genetic, may be not. But there's this posibility.

Autistic children act differently to neurotypical children because they are different.Autistic people experience the world and interact with the world differently to neurotypical people.

How do you get involed with autism speaks?

You wouldn't, not if you cared about Autistic people. Autism Speaks is widely considered a hate group by Autistic people. They use hate speech and propaganda about Autism to increase their profits, very little of their profits go towards helping Autistic people and their families, and instead Autism Speaks support 'curing' Autism which means preventing Autistic people being born. The organization has no Autistic people in their leadership, they refuse to listen to Autistic people who tell them that they are causing harm to the Autism community, they also support anti-vaccination movements, torture of Autistic children, and they sympathize with parents who murder their Autistic children. If you're interested in helping Autistic people a better organisation to get involved with is the Autism Self Advocacy Network - this is run by and for Autistic people and does a lot more to help Autistic people than Autism Speaks ever has. Go to their web site and Facebook page to see what opportunities they have available to work with them or to do fundraising.

Do autistic kids like learning?

Yes, autistic children like learning. Most children enjoy learning because it is what they are designed to do, to learn in order to develop and grow. Autistic children may enjoy learning more if learning about something that interests them, autistic people often have 'special interests' that they spend a lot of time and effort learning about and can become expert in.


How differently do they treat autism in America than England?

In short, very differently. In England we have the Autism Act which ensures all Autistic people have a pathway to diagnosis, although there's limited support for Autistic people government staff are supposed to be trained to understand Autistic people, Autistic people don't face healthcare discrimination like in the US where they may be expected to pay more for health insurance, and there are anti-discrimination laws in place. In England we tend to me a lot more accepting of Autistic people. In America there is a lot of scare tactics being used by people like Autism Speaks to make money out of families with Autistic children - Autistic parents are expected to spend thousands and allow their children to be tortured to make them 'normal'. Autistic people can face a lot more discrimination both in terms of employment and healthcare, and generally within society people consider Autistic people to be less than neurotypical people and there are stereotypes about Autistic people being mass shooters or otherwise violent. Often Autistic children are murdered by their parents and there is such a problem of ableism around Autism that people support the murders. I'm Autistic and live in the UK, but I will be moving to the US to live with my Autistic husband - the difference in attitudes between the two countries is as different as chalk and cheese.
