My eldest son is autistic. He was diagnosed while I was pregnant with my daughter. She was diagnosed AuDHD last month; she needs less support than my eldest son. We already had my youngest son by the time we found out with her. My youngest seems to be neurotypical, but we'll see what happens. My kids are awesome and I can't see my life without them.
No, we decided to only have my son. we did genetic testing when my son was about 9 months old due to his other medical condition and found that it was a high chance then I came back that he would have a high chance of a neurological conditions but as he was only 9 months they couldn't diagnose yet and that would be genetic to. For us, our lives are crazy enough, and so busy with so many appointments and meetings at school, I could not imagine bringing another child in. We have asked my son multiple times it he would like a brother of sister and always screamed no and ran away when he was younger he was absolutely terrified of babies and toddlers he would run away so many times if we were near friends or families babies who he knows well and would be meltdown after meltdown if we tried to stay longer (he is also blind in one eye and has no peripheral vision on either side so lots of things spook/scare him when he isn't expecting it and he needs his world to be in a order he understands which we understand.
I have 3 children, my middle child who is 4 years old is diagnosed autistic and we were going through the whole process of diagnosis while I was pregnant with his baby brother who is now a year. He definitely has a different bond with his baby brother which has developed over time, when the baby first arrived there was no acknowledgement at all.
Yes i have 3 other kids besides my 4 year old and just found out 15 days ago im pregnant again (that's before we even thought she could be on the spectrum) im also on the spectrum
