Children with an autistic spectrum disorder will display clear signs that they have the disorder. These may be things such as

• Having to adhere to routines

• Preferring order

• Communication and learning difficulties

• Poor social interactions

• Minimal eye contact

• Lack of imagination

• Fussy food habits

If you suspect your child displays autistic traits, you should see your Doctor Who will refer you to a child and adolesent mental health clinic. Here, a phsycologist will conduct an ADOS test to see if your child meets certain criteria of being on the autistic spectrum.

Your twin has autism will your baby have autism too?

Yes. However, it is more likely that the second child will not have an autism spectrum disorder than that the child will have one. There is a genetic component to autism spectrum disorders. The chance of having a second child with autism or Asperger's Syndrome is greater than the usual chance of having a child with an autism spectrum disorder. If the next child does have it, it could be a milder or more severe case than that of the first child. According to one study, if one child in the family has autism, the chance that another will also have autism is 10%. In that study, the chance that an identical twin has autism when the other does is 82%. Other studies give results ranging from a 5% chance of a second child with autism to a 15% chance. However, if there are two children in the family who have autism, the chance of a third child with autism increases greatly to about 30%. (One study indicates that the chance of a third child with autism is 50% if the child is male.)

It is unlikely that your child would have autism. There is a genetic component to autism, so it is more likely that you would have a child with autism than a couple with no history of autism in their backgrounds. However, it is still more likely that your child will not have autism than have autism.

Is there any record of someone with autism giving birth to a child with autism?

Yes, there are known situations of persons with autism having children with autism. There is a genetic component to autism. Some people with autism get married and have children. Some of those children have autism, but some do not. Autism varies in its severity, so other people might not recognize that a person has autism. Sometimes a parent with autism or Asperger's Syndrome is not diagnosed until after having a child with a more severe case that is diagnosed.


If the first child has a mild form of Asperger's Syndrome will the second child have it too?

It is very likely the 2nd will have aspergers or be autistic to a more severe degree than aspergers on a personal note on the subject my brothers 1st has aspergers and his 2nd is 7months old and we've found out she is so far on the autism spectrum it is trets or rhetts but to be fair my brother has mild aspergers himself so you know, its all in genetics some say, others disagree.

How do you calm a child with autism?

How vague. To calm a child who is already calm. Maybe you should ask yourself "How do I prevent an autistic child from going crazy?" or "Why can't I handle autism properly?". Any carer should know that the behaviour of autism closely resembles the effects of LSD and magic mushrooms. Therefore, extreme care and understanding is required of the individual. Do not attempt to abuse the child or this may have serious consequences.
