[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you were 45 - yes. But at 35 you're practically a fetus yourself. Unless there is family history of autism or any mental or neurological conditions I would not rule out a boy. [/quote] +1 https://www.spectrumnews.org/news/link-parental-age-autism-explained/ "...men in their 30s are 1.6 times as likely to have a child with autism as men under 30; men in their 40s have a sixfold increase." "Women seem to be at increased odds of having a child with autism both when they are much older and much younger than average, according to some studies." It doesn't sound like your current ages dramatically increase the odds of your next child having ASD. Also bear in mind that girls are significantly underdiagnosed with autism because it presents differently in boys and girls, so choosing a girl to avoid potential ASD is a misinformed strategy.[/quote]
