Anyone had NT son after ASD girl?

[ForeverHopeful67]

Hi all,

Just wondering if there is anyone out there that has a DD with ASD that then went on to have a NT son after?

Im losing myself down a google rabbit hole as from everything I've read statistics show it's very likely my son ( not yet born) will also have ASD too.

I've read a lot of forums where either the first born is a boy and other boy siblings were NT or vice versa with girl siblings but never a ND girl then NT boy so just wondered if this is even possible?

IMO - admittedly not very informed on ND specifically - the order in which you have your children (girl then boy or vice versa) is 100% irrelevant to whether they are NT or not.

Hello. My DD is ASD and my son isn't (he is younger) I think that he may have ADHD though so not NT, so maybe not what you are looking for! He definitely isn't ASD though!

Hi

I know a family with DD ND, DD NT, DS NT. Another with DD ND, DS NT.
I have DS ND, DD NT, DS NT.
But I also know families have all ND and others a complete mixture.

But they are families, not statistics.

My oldest is non verbal and goes to a SS. The best advice i can give is don't stress about ND or NT with your baby. You will miss so much in the first 2 years while you are worrying the future. Your son isn't your daughter. He might be asd, he might not.

Even if he is asd, his needs will be different to your daughter as he's not her! Or he will be NT and it will be different. Whatever happens they are 2 different children.

Please just enjoy the first 2 years. I definitely lost previous time. If your boy is or isn't, stressing and googling everything won't help. It will make you so sad and anxious. I really struggled at times but I realised it is out of your hands and it's not anyone's 'fault'.

I have an older ASC girl and a younger NT son. But honestly, don't get lost down that rabbit hole as it sounds like you're in danger of really stressing yourself out. Try to take it as it comes... if that's ever possible when expecting number two!

Thank you everyone for your comments :) really helpful and you're right I just need to try and relax ( if this as possible) and not overthink m everything!
