[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 434530, member: 1550"] Yep. They are inherited. If you have one spectrum child, you have a 1 in 20 chance of having another one. In schizophrenia, if one parent has it there is a 10% of passing it along whereas the norm is that 1 in 100 will develop schizophrenia.I think bipolar/mood disorders is even higher. Even antisocial behavior tends to be inherited (I have read tons on this...if a relative is in jail, even if the child is adopted and has never met the parent, he is at higher risk to end up in jail). Why? Behaviors? Personality? Impulsivity? Not sure. Getting back together with your ex isn't going to change who he is and if he doesn't love you...your son will pick that up. [/QUOTE]
