Hard to say : The incidence of autism has increased significantly and is under 1/100. If your child has some type of identifiable genetic abnormality it may provide you with some additional information. Environmental influence on genetic susceptibilities plays a large role in this epidemic. Look for a provider for yourself and your future child who can help you assess risk and limit exposures.
