Do any of your children show signs of spectrum traits at all? Do they have behaviouraly issues that are present with children who have autism? Im just wondering as your post obviously shows concern about your childrens birth's

Autism is not something that is caught later in life...its always present, its just to what degree and are we as parents blinded to it in baises to our children.

As for austim and induction.....hmmm my child was born 1 week prior to EDD and via an uncomplicated c/s. I knew something wasnt right from in utereo but could never put my finger on it. There is actually a section on BB about autism and 2 of us BB memebers have starting journalling our lives with our children who are on the spectrum. If you click on 'mario' in my signature it will take you to mine.

As humans we have to always find a purpose and meaning to why things like this happen. Sometimes we need to just except that they do, stop dwelling on the what if's and concentrate on the how to deal with them. We cant help our children with we dont look forward
