Will autistic people have autistic children?
The following numbers are approximations since different studies have found slightly different results. The chance of having one child with autism might be as high as 1 in 100. After having one child with autism, the chance of having a second child with autism is 1 in 20. After having two children with autism, the chance of having a third child with autism is 1 in 3.
Is it possible for only one twin to develop autism?
Yes, it is possible. In one study, the chance that an identical twin has autism when the other does is 82%. That means that 18% of the identical twins did not have autism. It is much more likely that an identical twin will have autism if the other does than that a fraternal twin or other sibling will, but it does not happen every time.

What gender seems to be more affected by autism?
Autism seems to effect males more than females, in part because of the connection to Fragile X Syndrome. However the more we learn about autism the more we realise that it can display in different ways in females, it's likely that far more women then innitially believed are autistic but because of the idea that autism effects mostly men and because it displays differently it can be missed or misdiagnosed more often in women.
