Kendrick Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 I really wasn't sure where to post this, guess here is as good as any other place. Does anyone here have a child or know of anyone with a child that has autisim? My cousin who has two boys, ages 5 yrs old and 18 months, found out last year her 5 yr old has autisim, nowthe docs are saying her 18 month may have it as well. All signs point to him possbily having it like his brother. I have read it can be genetic, but no one in our family to my knowledge has it, and her husbands side they do not either. I know there was a stink at one point about certain vaccinations that can cause it. However, I just thought it was kind of odd that both her boys can have it? What would be the likelyhood of two or more siblings having that?
Crusoe Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Twice a month, for the last 6 years myself and a mate have run a golf day for the local autistic kids. I really don't know much about autism, but over those 6 years I have only once met siblings who both have it, so I would guess it's not that common.

I don't know much about it either, but did think it was odd to have two kids with it. I guess that is rare.
