[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was 26 when I had my autistic kid. Not high functioning. No cause. Our other 4 kids are fine[/quote] There are so many risk factors - from maternal obesity to medication use during pregnancy to paternal age to pregnancy complications to family histories of ADHD/OCD/autism. The list of five factors provided at the beginning of the post is not exhaustive by any means. And there is a complex interplay between genes and environment, so even if you are young mother there could be other factors at play that put your child at risk for autism. [/quote] +1 And if the autism diagnosis or sub-clinical autism traits are occurring in girls and women in your family that’s a big red flag. Females are more protected against autism and genetically require more hits. [/quote]
