I'm not sure if this is the best place to post - will also post in Special Needs. I appreciate too that this could be a fairly controversial topic and I don't want to upset anyone.
Does anyone have any knowledge of whether PGD (pre-implantation genetic diagnosis) is available in the UK to ensure that only female embryos are implanted, in order (theoretically) to reduce the risk of autism? If not in the UK, does anyone have any experience of other countries that offer this? I believe that Belgium and the United States are possibilities.
I'm not currently looking to TTC (but will be in a few years). DP's son is autistic and I find it very difficult to cope at times. I know that PGD offers no guarantees, but given the odds of autisim in boys being higher than in girls, I'd like to find out more about PGD.
Any advice very welcome.
