History of autism

Hi All,

Just wanted some opinions on your experiences with autism.

I am due to give birth in 4 weeks and keep having this thought that my son will be born with autism. The reason I think this is because my nephew and two of my cousins sons have autism and they are all related to one side of my family.

Anyone know if autism is hereditary, I’ve tried researching around this but can’t find much information.

I know I can’t change anything around this but just wanted other people’s views on this.

Thanks

There's a genetic link with autism but they don't really know much beyond that, you do get it in families.
