Oh Willow. It's horrible when you read things like that, it is natural to worry. I am sure only a small percentage of bubs with large head circs. actually have autism. You have said before that both you and your DH have good sized noggins, so I'm sure it is just genetic and nothing to worry about.
I know how you feel, autism runs in my family (my dad, brother and niece have Aspergers) and when my first DS was born I was PARANOID that he had it, I worried if he wouldn't look me in the eye etc (he also had a larger head, but I never new the link to autism thankfully!). Well he is now a lively, outgoing, hilarious 3yo who is so social he knows all our neighbours by name and has no sign of autism. Now I just have Kieran to worry about!
Anyway, I'm not much help, but I just wanted to give you a hug.
