Name: Meghan [ Original Post ] My boyfriend has an autistic child from a previous relationship. We will be getting married but I am worried about having children with him. Should I be concerned since a new partner (me) will be involved? Can we get tests done? What are the chances of us having an autistic child? ↓

There are no test for autism.I was told if you have one child with autism there is a 10 to 15% chance of having another.I also am thinking on having another child but worry.Talk to your doctor as in anew partner maybe the chances are different.Good luck. ↑
