| Hi there- After having my special child, (my second child) I was also afraid to have other children incase they would be special too but that did not stop me from wanting more! My husband did not though. He was terrified and so I came to accept that we were done having children only to have God bless us with another (perfectly healthy) child. :) I was worried out of my mind the whole pregnancy but he's just fine and I would have loved him no less even if he wasn't! :) I guess what I'm getting at is that, in my opinion, you'll get what you get and that won't change the way you feel about the child OR his/her father. If you both feel that you can handle the stresses that an autistic child an bring, tell your husband to leave it to fate and see what happens. Children are a blessing no matter what in my book :) {{{{{HUGS}}}}} ↑ |

| Every child is a gift and every pregnancy has some amount of risk. I remember a boyfriend who had helped raised his paranoid schizophrenic brother. He had great fear and no desire to have children. I left him, but not for that reason. how ironic that I ended up with an autistic son myself. But you know my daughter was a handful temperment wise colic etc... She was that child that most parents who have the placid first child ( you know the one that lulls them into a false sense of security about how easy parenting is...) end up having as their second. My children are challenges each in their own way. But they are beautiful and so bright. I wouldn't trade either for the world. If you have the love and the patience there isn't anything that you can't handle, that is what it means to be a parent. Good luck whatever you decide. ↑ |

| Translation of previous post, I believe is written in Greek. Not sure what this is to mean to us. But some people who have autism are fascinated with foreign languages. Or it could be anything. For you now say me, that came the hour in order to I leave, I stand front in the door Him I open, behind my you and a narko field where hej your form cymj'z^ 9;j Other drawing, we became two foreigners where syzoy'n in the same city, syzit& # 940;me Ma him do know all, something concealed anymore don't remain anymore aren't hidden, when a relation ] 2;rayma` 4;j'zeta _ 3? or is offended, leaves the one from the other now fy'ge` 4;e As long as prosp 45;cej'te holes you only open, hole in water and your two Pn& # 943;geste as the castaways when in deeply Hanoi 47;este .

| I have 2 kids, both with autism. I didn't kow about my son's diagnosis until my little girl was 17 months, so I never had to make the choice you are faced with now. However I have no regrets and love both my children. For nearly 3 years I thought my daughter was neuro typical and it was a shock to see her rapidly regress within weeks. Something that never occured with my son. In response to Kym I was never comparing my 2 kids , even today their abilitiies, strengths and weaknesses are very different and I am not disappointed with either child. What you and your husband must decide is are you both up to the stress and incredible workload this could put on your marriage? It becomes your life when you have 2 autistic children, leaves you very tired and not much time for each other any more. When I got my daughters diagnosis I thought I've done this once I can do it again- but the kids are so very different from each other and their issues are so very different. You must seriously think why you want another child and also respect your husbands wishes too as you are both in on this together. It shouldn't just be about persuading him.That said I knew of one couple who had two autistic boys and chose to have another child. Good luck with whatever you both decide to do ↑ |
