[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't have to jump to eugenics. If a family knows there is a genetic predisposition, they can get screened earlier, put therapies in place, school supports, etc... And, while ASD in some people is high-IQ, in some others it is more debilitating. That is the truth of the spectrum. Information is power. But it is an awesome power to either share or not share because of the potential damage to how that information is received. [/quote] I would totally share this with the future wife, because she needs to know. It seems this family doesn't talk about it, which is fine in their dynamic, but not fine to a future in-law who will probably deal with the consequences down the road. Don't surprise her. She needs to research for her potential children's sake and what supports they might need. Don't let her go into this blind, that is abuse. [/quote]
