A good treatment plan will:
Build on your child's interests.
Offer a predictable schedule.
Teach tasks as a series of simple steps.
Actively engage your child's attention in highly structured activities.
Provide regular reinforcement of behavior.
Involve the parents.
In the 1930's Autism wasn't a diagnosis at all, thus no child would be recognized as being Autistic as they would be today. An Autistic child would likely have been diagnosed with some other condition such as mental retardation and locked in a home of some sort.
Yes, constant fighting in the home can have a detrimental affect on any child. An autistic child who is stressed, or overloaded due to empathy towards others in the family suffering, will have worsened symptoms.
Many parents do struggle with their autistic child and are concerned about their future. Autism doesn't mean a child/adult who is mentally handicapped. Autistic brains think different and many autistic people only deserved to be understood and not treated like they're sick or handicapped. Autistic children/adults are not sick or handicapped. Many parents should try to understand their autistic child instead of being scared all the time.
doctors can treat that. they will put your child on medication which will help that's pretty much it hope it helped!
That's one thing to never take an autistic child to. Many parents have risked taking their autistic child to ABA therapy or therapies similar to ABA because seeing their child is nonverbal or they stim a lot, they have a hard time with communication. Autistic children do learn to communicate when they get older, but they still need to stim. ABA is something that prevents that and forces them to look normal. Most autistic children had experienced abuse from ABA. ABA takes away the energy in an autistic child. If autistic individuals are not allowed to stim- that even cause them to have lack of energy.
The best thing that you can do for your autistic child is to learn about autism from autistic people - completely and utterly ignore anything that organisations like Autism Speaks tells you about autism, they are known as a hate group by the autistic community and cause a lot of harm by spreading false information and negative messages about autism. Always presume competence and don't treat autism like it is a negative trait.
Your autistic child may not recognise their name as their name. Many autistic people are disconnected from how they are percieved by others, not all Autistic people accept the name given to them as representitive of them.
Autistic people are normal - so yes, if both parents are autistic they may have an autistic child or a neurotypical child, either way that child is normal.
Because people who are considered autistic have to do things others don't have to they have to go to special places in school and sometime don't get any playground time also you are not allowed to leave a autistic child home alone.
Firstly, it's offensive for you to imply that autistic people are abnormal - autistic people are different to neurotypical people, not less than. A person is born autistic, it is not something that happens to 'normal' people or something that you turn into, you are always autistic.

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.
