My daughter and I have some of the same issues, but mine are to a lesser degree. We recently participated in a genetic study which showed that we share several duplications/deflections which are common in Autism. However, genetics are only ONE thing that can cause a predisposition to ASD. Nobody really knows DEFINITIVELY what causes ANY of it. In any case, blaming yourself , or anybody else, is wasted energy. In the long run it will only hurt you. Hang in there!
