Best Answer

There is no correlation between Autism and divorce.

Organisations such as Autism Speaks spread this myth to increase fear of Autism - suggesting that Autism is some terrible thing that breaks-up families in order to increase money people give them to eradicate Autism/Autistic people. There's no solid evidence to show that parents with Autistic children are more likely to divorce than parents with neurotypical children.

I have Asperger's and my parents divorced when I was 13. I was reassured that I was NOT responsible - they had their own problems!

Both parents have a cause of action with respect to the child's wrongful death. Each parent is an heir of the child, in equal shares, absent a Will. hm im not 2 sure whys that Why?
