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.

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.

This characteristic is not enough to diagnose autism. Children with autism might babble at 8 months. Children with hearing problems might not babble at 8 months. The child might have autism if he or she has additional signs of autism and other possibilities are eliminated.


Having a child with autism is making you depressed?

You don't have a child with autism, you have an Autistic child - recognise their identity. Having an Autistic child isn't what makes you depressed, the fact you're ableist towards that child is making you depressed because you believe that child is worth less as an Autistic person.Get away from other 'Autism Moms'/'Autism Parents' and avoid organizations like Autism Speaks which see Autism as a bad thing, go talk to Autistic people and parents who are allies to their Autistic children so you get a better understanding of how to effectively care for your child and stop seeing them as some sort of burden. Your child is not to blame for your depression.


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.)

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

If you have one child with Asperger’s (now part of Autism Spectrum Disorder), the chances do go up for a second child, but it’s not a guarantee. Autism has a strong genetic tie, so siblings share some of that risk. For most families, autism affects about 1–2% of children in the general population. But if your first child is on the spectrum, that number jumps to about 10–20% for siblings. It’s not always the same story, though. The second child might not have autism at all. Maybe they show only mild or different traits. Sometimes, both kids are on the spectrum but seem completely different from each other. There’s more at play than just genetics—environment matters, too. So it’s hard to predict anything with certainty. Here’s what actually helps: Monitor early milestones such as speech, play, and social interactions. If you spot anything that feels off, don’t ignore it. Get an early screening. Starting support early makes a real difference. If you’re worried, talk to your pediatrician or a specialist. They can walk you through what to watch for and what steps to take if something seems unusual.
