Should I have another baby after an Autism diagnosis? 

Thanks for sharing x

This 💜💜💜 🙌🏽

Autism is genetic we already know this lodes of evidence to to and proof. 😊

Well primarily yes. But we also know the condition develops from other things as well. De novo mutation is random genetic changes in the egg and sperm and I do believe that some factors can lead to the condition developing. My son Percy got the MMR vaccine a few weeks ago when I begged for his referral for the ADOS. It's very obvious he is autistic but at 16 months with early intervention we shall see where God leads us. I had COVID during my pregnancy but it's probably more likely genetic but I'm 24 weeks pregnant with a baby brother Kenny. I pray he is neuro-typical just so we can focus financial resources on Percy and because I want Kenny to be that support of which you speak. All in God's hands now!

Oh congratulations so happy for you x

I'm in the same exact boat, its something I think about every day right now! My son is almost 2 and a half and I feel so torn

My son is 2 and a half and in December we are probably going to have an ASD diagnosis. My other son is 3 months old. Being a boy too I am so afraid. Im struggling and im afraid for the future. My heart aches a lot.

I have 2 girls with 2 years age gap. My oldest is autistic and now she is 6 and her 4 years old sister is teaching her so many things. I am so grateful for my second baby. 😊

You need to do what’s right for your family ❤️

Sort of off topic but Regarding something you said; something being genetic, dosnt outrule the possibly of vaccines playing a role - because I don’t think it certain that vaccines do not live on through a person Ie affecting genes ect Because even the food that grows on earth that we eat, makes us who we are And vaccines are man made in a lab

@@pinkpetal489 well, back in the day when I had to make a choice to go with our national vaccination programme or not, I tried to research it to the best of my ability (I know quite a bit about health and research). I couldn’t find any peer reviewed critisism against vaccines that were convincing. Especially if you factor in the risk of not vaccinating. You don’t compare the risk of vaccination against not vaccinating. You compare it to the risk of the possible diseases they prevent. And through that lense we decided to vaccinate him and I don’t regret that one bit. I’d rather have him (more) autistic and perfect the way he is, than dead from the measles… even if he would be autistic or more autistic because of vaccines (which there isn’t scientific evidence off)

@@LisetteZ3 “dead from measles” 🙄

@@pinkpetal489 there is no evidence that vaccines cause autism. Absolutely none

Welcome to the family ❤️

I agree x

There is no scientific proof that vaccines cause autism. Absolutely none.

❤️

Thank you x

There is often a genetic component

@@shadrach6299 for sure! Pretty sure my mom is autistic too. 😊

❤️

Yes there has been lodes of research actually the vaccine makes no difference if it did the NHS would tell you the risks that it could make it worse no difference as your born the way your born. Xx

Yeah check out for your girls symptoms because they can develop

You can do what ever with the vaccines but makes no difference your born with autism. Xx

Did you delay or did not give any vaccinations?

I didn’t have any vaccinations when pregnant. X

Vaccines make no difference your born autistic that’s a fact it’s proven autism isn’t something people should be trying to prevent it’s a gift. Xxx

@@oliviaann5535 💯

@@oliviaann5535 lol

@@oliviaann5535 very true. Autism is not caused by vaccination. I like her videos but she lost me with the vaccines stuff

Thank you for Sharing your story x

I agree

If it’s right for you and your family don’t be scared . But only you know the answer x

Hi my name is Judith I live in ohio and I also 39 with a daughter on the sputrum age 2.5. I wish for a second child but we are exhausted with all the extra needs. What have you decided ?

@@judith9577 we have decided to wait and see and make a final decision when I am 40. We are hoping it gets easier when he is a little older. But I must admit as things are right now it has to get alot easier for us …I’m also scared of the higher risk of getting a second child with asd…

36-95% is for twins. Odds for siblings remain at around 18% if there’s already a child with autism in the family.

I think it’s doing what is right for your family . If your scared about autism don’t be. What will be will be but for me personally having siblings for dylan was the best thing x

If you think you can deal with another child with autism then go for it. XXX

@@oliviaann5535 so you mean to say that it is sure that second child will also have autism

Shweta Garg not 100% at all but it’s likely so I would always think about could you cope and give the children all the need if they both have autism. Xx

@@oliviaann5535 I have heard the same although the probability is low, I still don’t have the nerve to go for another child, so many “what if’s”, it is such a pain and guilty to not go for second child coz am scared that I may not be able to handle 😌 what an emotional decision, my child is happy with mom and dad, yet I always miss my special needs son having siblings but still don’t have the nerve to go for it..such a mixed emotions for my moms heart..

Hope it helps x

Hello.. m sailing on the same boat.. my autistic son just turned 5.. my feel is just take in consideration various factors like the needs of your special child, finances, support available etc. For some kids having a sibling is a great thing for other kids on spectrum it may or may not be..

It comes down to family Dynamics and doing what is right for everybody. For us having more children was absolutely the right thing to do . For others it might not x

@@hopeandalittleautism hi...thank you for reply. Whenever I ask my son, do u want sibling? he always say no I don't... He is very possessive for his father and he don't want to share with anyone, not even with me....

@@ComingHometoAutism thank you tara for your reply....your channel gives me lot of mental strength.....

I am mother of single child, my 7 year old son is on spectrum too, I am in the same confused place as u whether to go for a second child, I think it takes lots of courage time financially strong to go for second one again it’s purely depends on family support system too

Sending you a hug and a prayer

Mybe around 4

It’s up to you but I’d say when she is on nursery so you have some time to rest during the day x

@@ComingHometoAutism nice idea. thank you

How about just don’t vaccinate.

@@channelmar15 absolutely no more 😊

It’s a personal circumstance thing. But if you wanted to have more children before you got an autism diagnosis, I don’t think you should let it stop you. I’m So grateful for Luca and naia and couldn’t imagine my life with out them. Also Luca has bought Dylan on so much ❤️

Thank you for sharing your story x

❤️

It’s so sad when they blame the parents . No blame here just love x

@@ComingHometoAutism they used to blame refrigerator mother’s for autism in the children decades ago.

The problem with Freewill is all very well but if you then kill someone else because you didn’t want to vaccinate your child how is that fair.

@@oliviaann5535 kill someone who also didn’t get shot? Kill someone cause the shot the kid did get didn’t prevent the illness or the ability to spread it anyway? I find it quite odd in the US I can ‘terminate’ privately, can’t harm an egg in a protected Duck nest, did not ‘need’ a flu shot all this time (30%) may have gotten per year before, but not getting a shot that has a less than 1% chance of death is killing someone? Do we blame unvaccinated grandma for a child getting the measles too young for the shot? No. We don’t know how unvaccinated child got it. We consider grandma immune since she was alive and exposed to measles long before a vaccine developed and the shot would not benefit grandma at all. Life is not fair. Everyone is going to die of something. Parent and child have more chance of killing someone in an accidental car accident, whose occupants didn’t have a seat belt on, on the way to the pharmacy to get the shot than by passing measles to another where the outcome is fatal cause the child isn’t vaccinated. You can insert the name of the other shot if you would like. The world has gone goofy. All this misplaced indirect anger. Imagine if during the AIDS epidemic people were mandated not to have relations until in a heterosexual legal marriage cause of the ‘numbers’ to stop the spread for 5 years and not do blood transfusions outside of self donation or a relatives for a year until there was a proper test? It would be ridiculous. People get sick. In my state it is no longer criminal not to disclose knowingly HIV positive before sleeping with someone. They just signed it during the covid pandemic. Now most people live a life and die of something else. Medical privacy. But it’s criminal not to wear a mask in high school and not vaccinating a 5 year old can kill grandma who got the shot 11 months ago and been boosted? Would you want disclosure before a condition where you are taking medications for life and can pass it along? But you want disclosure on vaccination?

kris Sharp No you could kill someone by not having a vaccine that is vital.

At 7 years old

Hi, how is your son now? Hope the best
