The reason I asked about the school is that I'm wondering if you will be put into a situation where you need to pay for some sort of private schooling.
My belief is that asd is genetic and that the cycle cannot be stopped. I'm guessing that's different from your belief?
I'm not trying to drum anything into you, I guess I'm just justifying my decisions in an attempt to circulate and process ideas to help in your decision itms?
DD isn't autistic but requires a lot of dr appointments and medical requirements, so as soon as she was diagnosed with her birth defect we decided that our plans of 3-4 children would be DD and MAYBE another one.
It was upsetting to change our plans but we know that any more children would affect being able to give DD the help she needs, harder to make it to appointments, medical costs, etc.
We did have DS but he quite happily goes along with the flow and was very healing for us.
I can relate to that a lot Charlotte. One of my H's concerns over having another baby is whether I will be able to keep running my son around to all the therapies he does. But I already did that with one baby who was fine with it so I don't see the problem.
I DO see that I will be more tired and stretched though and interacting with my son at home would be harder. He would happily watch TV all day and it's a lot of work to engage him in play. Having another baby could very possibly let him down in that way. But then I'm looking having a baby when he would be in full day school so maybe it wouldn't be as bad then.
