My neurotypical brother came along just shy of 4 years after AuDHD me :)

My answer is very similar. My older son has ADD. My youngest has autism and intellectual disability. Probably there are a lot of factors but I also wonder if my age and my husband's age play a factor. I have been told by medical professionals that female children are statistically less likely to have autism....

I have two sons. The first was neurotypical and I was 36 when I had my second one. It was only recently I found out that my husband has a cousin who has a son on the spectrum.
