[quote=Anonymous]At this moment in time, no one knows what causes or contributes to autism. Research has identified some likely contributing factors, but the mechanism is not known. Take a deep breath. There are two cases of ASD in my family. In both cases, they were not closely spaced to another pregnancy. In one, the older child was 8 years older. In the other, the child was the first born. Thousands and thousands of "Irish twins" are born with no problems. It increases your risk very slightly. Breathe. Your baby is probably fine. [/quote]
