Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

please ask your pediatrician and obstetrician. As a layperson, I've seen many varying opinions on this. Some say yes, some say no. good luck!

I have a child with autism but only one out of five and he was my youngest child. My daughter has a son with autism. It does run in families Scientists have found a gene called contactin-associated proteinlike 2. They say if the mother is found with the gene it is more likely the children will have autism than if the father has it.

They are still studying this gene to find out how more about how it causes autism.
So if your children inherited the gene from their mother they would be 20 percent more likely to have a child with autism or even more than one.
