Isn't that interesting. I went into pre term labor w/ twins at 27

weeks. Talking about major stress, trying to not go into labor. They

were born at 30 weeks and now have autism.

Yes, I agree: I moved across the country while I was expecting our

first son and it was very stressful. He is NT and instead my

daughter, born 2 years later had numerous difficulties. So, one would

think that the subsequent child, another son born 16 months later

would be affected. Nope! He's NT too, but son #3, is mildly affected

and son #4 is fine. Go figure! Personally, I think it is a toss of

Mother Nature's dice combined with genes and other factors that

contribute.

I hate studies like that. Not only do they make no sense, but how are they helpful? What exactly are we supposed to do with thtat information now?

I guess I kinda like them. I don't agree with them all,,,,,,,but I often wondered if I was the only one who IN MY HEAD wondered if crappy,stressful, awful time I went through for a bit while preggo with Ian could have somewhat contributed to it?I know I'll never know for sure, but we're always told how bad stress is for us,,,,,this is kind of, for me anyway, a validation. Not a good one,,,,,ha ha. No, I know there's nothing I can do about it,,,,,but I read the stuff and decide for myself, I guess. RobinHeidi Guarino <heidi.guarino@...> wrote: I hate studies like that.

I think it goes back to genetics at the end of the day though. I had a bunch of stress with both of my pregnancies but Dylan has Aspergers and my daughter does not. Seeing how sensitive my son is to his entire environment though, I wonder if my stress did contribute to some of his challenges now but my daughter's system was more resilient? That's why, at the end of the day, I think genetics play more of a role than anything.

I know several sets of triplets in our area with the same kind of outcomes. In one case, one boy has non-verbal autism, the other boy has AS, the girl is NT. In another case, one boy has non-verbal autism but his two siblings are NT.

I think if one sibling has autism, it raises the odds of the others having a form of autism. But since we all get our own set of genetics, it would be hard to predict in advance. I think with these triplets, they are not identical so each has their own set of genes. So it's just like they were siblings born at different times. If they were all identical, then you'd probably see that they all have some form of autism or not. That's when it gets weird - if you have identical twins or triplets and some do have autism but others don't. I don't know how they can explain that one. I was never good at science. <G>

I believe this may be true for us, too! was one month late. I had to be induced and wound up having an emergency C-section. But I really went through hell with 's dad who is now my ex. It was really an awful time in my life. I left him when was 5 months old because he threw me into the wall in front of her and she started laughing. Obviously, her dad has issues too.

That is another idea I was having - we think they share all of their genes but what if there are things we do not know about yet and that it is more complex where differences are likely to occur?

I know this is off topic, but I thought this was interesting, that a woman use to post on this site, who had twins, but only one with autism and getting lots of services, while the other was N.T. Also, I personally knew a lady that had triplets - 2 boys + 1 girl. 1 boy has autism and still receiving services- speech, ot, pt, skills, etc... the other boy twin - doesn't have a DX and the girl is NT, she helps the other 2 ever though she's the same age, but not everyone would think she is the same age. She acts few years older, and people are surprised when told, they, 'all three' are triplets. Just wanted to share because I was - I don't know if I want to say impressed or surprised that they are so different as far as development issues are known - yet they are triplets.

Roxanna & so, does that leave out that theory that if one child has autism, all siblings will be on the spectrum? And that a child with autism will also have children with autism or on the spectrum? If some studies show that it's generic and/or environment, how would they explain multiple births with some on the spectrum and some not? <cmcintosh5@...> wrote: Yes me too.. !

Hi, gonna jump in here with my thoughts: I know parents with 2 sets

of twins. In both cases, only one of the children is affected by a

chromosome disorder. At first, that surprised me as well, but if you

take a look at the basics in cell division, pregnancies resulting in

identical twins are comprised of the same egg and one sperm. Whereas,

non-identical twins result when 2 eggs are fertilized by 2 eggs at

the same time of conception. Triplets are the latter: non-identical.

Just like the sets of twins that I know of, they too, are non-

identical. So, they have no greater chance of being similar than any

other sibling born years apart. Again, it becomes a toss of the dice

in nature who is afflicted with Autism and who is not. I believe

there is a strong pre-disposing genetic link, but other factors can

weigh in to contribute to the mix. i.e. stress, environment, etc. Of

my 5 children, 2 were affected. Now that I look back, I have one of

those " aha! " moments when I think about my father-in-law... I am

certain that he had AS, but until I had children of my own, was not

up on genetic or medical information and terms. I just knew FIL

was 'different' - as was his sister - and yet, another sibling was

sociable and not at all like her brother and sister.

I think it explains a genetic link for me.. And that just like most things that are genetic its a "crap shoot" for lack of a better term. That if a family has one child on the spectrum that they have a higher possibility that another will be on the spectrum however it isn't a certainty.

I was blessed with my autistic child as my last birth child. I didn't have to make the choice if I was going to have more.. As I had already decided upon his conception that I was indeed done .

With us and our 5 children, the decision to have a large family was

well-planned and yet we never dreamed we would have a child faced

with challenges. Our second born - and only daughter - was most

developmentally delayed, but this was due a chromosome duplication.

We learned after her birth that it was a condition that could be

tested for in subsequent pregnancies. Neither my husband or I, nor

oldest son were affected so genetic counsellors determined that our

daughter's condition was a random event and should not happen again.

Nonetheless, I had prenatal testing during subsequent pregnancies as

a precaution to alert us ahead of time whether there might be a

problem. Our other children were all " genetically healthy " . All of

our children were born very close together and ranged in age from 16

to 10. It was not until I was expecting our last child that we began

to suspect there may be a problem with the development of our second

youngest son. Another genetic screen ruled that his was definitely

not a chromosome error. Besides, he did not display the severity of

our daughter. Instead, his delays were minor; but those nagging

thoughts persisted because he was a little bit 'different' from his

other siblings. His testing was a long process because of the

strengths and weaknesses that did not easily allow for any one

diagnois. Finally, we recieved one 'label' that made a lot of sense:

CAPD (Central Auditory Processing Disorder) amongst a bunch of

other " ABC's " . He is also described as " Aspergers-like " , but did not

meet official criteria " at time of testing " . I spoke with genetics

again because I wondered why both children could have Autistic

tendencies despite having differing diagnoses. I was told that for my

daughter, the Autism part of her delays might be not necessarily due

to the chromosome duplication, but that she may have been more

predisposed to Autism because of other genetic factors in the family,

such as that of our son. Hers, with a chromosome duplication seemed

amplified. Even in hindsight, I would do it all over again. My

children who were affected were as loved and as loving as my NT ones

and I feel Blessed to have had each of them.

Your last two sentences would be interesting to know...I would like to know if there were ever identical twins or triplets that some were on the spectrum and the other not. right now "Yale" in Connecticut, is doing a study - you need both parents to be included - at least one child on the spectrum and the other NT. they want to include the whole family in their study.

I believe that genetics play and roll and those fetuses react to

external stressors more than NT fetuses. If the mothers had flu

shots, dental work, and lived in a toxic environment then those

fetuses who had poor detox ability could be born set up to develop

autism. Some seemed to be born with it and others developed signs as

the toxic burden became to much.
