The Genetics and Facts"},"content":{"rendered":"

Can two autistic people have a normal child?<\/strong> Yes. Autism has a genetic component<\/a>, but it does not guarantee that the child will be autistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to research from the Autism Research<\/em> journal (2020), if both parents are autistic, the likelihood of having a child on the autism spectrum may increase<\/a>. One study estimated the recurrence risk at around 30\u201350%<\/a>, but this does not mean every child will be autistic. Many children of autistic parents are neurotypical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve spoken with families at Able Stars ABA<\/a> where both parents are diagnosed autistic. Some of their children show no signs of autism, while others do. Each child develops in their own way, and early support\u2014regardless of diagnosis\u2014helps them thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
