can adults with aspergers pass it to their childern?


Question:


Answers:
Asperger's syndrom can run in families (see the link below). However, "normal" parents can also produce offspring with autism, Asperger's Syndrome, or other PDDs.

Other Answers:
It's still hazy whether there's a parent-to-child genetic connection, but it's possible. Parents of children with Asperger's have been observed to show a few Asperger's-like behaviors.

Another thing that suggests a genetic component is the incidence of siblings with ASD. If you have a child with ASD, the odds of having another child with it go WAY up, to something like 1 in 4.
Yes.

I had a student this last school year who got it from his father. It can be passed on from parents.
Yes. It is important for these children not to be immunized. If you want information on this, I can give it to you.
