[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Honestly, people see what they expect to see. [/b]People will tell you that your kid looks like you, people will tell you that your kid looks like your husband. Choose whichever donor you and your husband like. I think you are on the right track by choosing a open ID donor. That’s what we did; it turns out that our kids is not particularly interested contacting the donor, but I will always have peace of mind knowing that the option is available and it’s not a huge mystery.

I personally know about a dozen kids who were conceived with the donor sperm. One of them is on the spectrum (and is a lovely talented, interesting kid). I know more kids than that who were conceived entirely with their parents’ genetic material and who are on the spectrum. In all cases, there was no family history. Agree with the previous poster that this isn’t something to screen for or worry about any more than you would when conceiving with your own genetic material. 
Good luck!

I agree with this. I have a friend who adopted two girls. I can’t tell you how many times people say “Your daughter looks so much like you!” They’re both white but are obviously unrelated. People see dimples and a big smile and they make the connection they want to make.
