| I think there are different varieties of autism and the symptoms can manifest in different ways depending on the person. My son's autism manifests as OCD-type. He has classic OCD behaviors like washing his hands over and over, but it's part of a bigger complex of autistic behaviors. You also have OC... |

| I'm posting this here, rather than in the Parents' Forum, to get a wider range of opinions. Nearly every parenting article I read says that a parent should "validate" or "understand" their child's feelings. For instance, "I understand that you're frustrated that you can't g... |

I don't know what you are trying to ask. If they have all girls, then they can buy a lot of pretty dresses and paint the nursery pink, if they want to. If they have all boys, they can paint it blue. But children are wonderful whether girls or boys. |

50% of sperm carry an X chromosome that results in girl babies, and 50% of sperm carry a Y chromosome that makes a boy baby.
Autistic people make sperm and eggs just like everyone else, so they make girl and boy babies just like everyone else. |

I feel like I think better with a pencil in my hand... Don't know why! |

Well, then they would have a bunch of boys!
I'm not sure what you are trying to ask. Sometimes people have only boys, yes. Sometimes they have only girls. It's random. |
