[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for the support.  I know the answer is to avoid the Expectant Moms Forum.  It is hurtful to see women have so much fear that they might have a child like my own.  As if autism is the worst possible outcome. DS is such a fun, affectionate and intelligent little boy! He is already a great big brother and is excited for another sibling.  Our lives are full of love and I need to just focus on my own family.[/quote]

+1! Mom of three with eldest who has HFA: interacting with siblings has done wonders. They're all a team as they grow up. Eldest is aware of being different but copes with diagnosis well. Some problems persist but we are lucky. I'm confident that all of them will continue to succeed through college and beyond. 
OP, don't let naysayers get you down. They'll never shut up, but learn to tune them out anyway. Believe in  yourself and your family. Advocate for your kids and get them whatever supports, therapies, IEP, etc., they need. As awareness grows, the naysayers will go on to something else, before being shut down again. It's an endless cycle but it won't derail your family as long as you love each other.
Good luck![/quote]
