just knew that my husband has autism, currently pregnant with his son

Hi, it seems that you’re in shock over your husband’s admittance that he’s on the spectrum. Rather than (un)acceptance of his condition, you’re more afraid about the possible implications it might bring to your unborn child. It’s perfectly normal to feel that way as parents (: even when my husband sometimes becomes remotely rude to my in-laws I’ll be thinking about not wanting his “rudeness” to rub off my child. That said, while there is a higher risk (1~5% more) than normal population, it’s not a guarantee your child will be on the spectrum. In fact, research has shown that mothers with ASD are more likely to have children diagnosed with the same condition than fathers with ASD. Parental genetic history don’t increase the risk as much as having siblings with ASD so stay positive and hopeful for now fellow mommy!
