Hi. I Want to start this with my experience. I have sister that has severe autism. She is non-verbal, non-communicational, aggressive and 100% not capable of living by herself. I had a really traumatic experiences when I was a child, like when she used to bite and tear of my flash just because I needed to use bathroom and she had habit of going to bathroom every 5 mins just to sit in there; having all my notebooks and workbooks chewed, scratched, and torn apart; listening to her constant screaming and mumbling; not being able to sleep normal because I had to share room with my sister; being constantly ridiculed and picked on in school, and having little or no friends. Most of my teen years and early adult life I was worried that I also have autism until psychiatrist convinced me that I don't, and that I just have low self-esteem which is probably due to thing I've been through. Today, I have a degree, awesome job and I'm happily married to the greatest guy there is. He always wanted to be a father and I, although was determined not to have children ever, have changed my mind. There is no history of autism in his family, nor in mine except for my sister. I just want to know if there is someone out here that had similar experience who can tell me there is at least a chance of us having normal kid and leading normal life. Thanks. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2hmGb60
