My mom had a serious liver infection during her second trimester while carrying my older brother. He turned out autistic. After years of dressing down people about vaccines and other snake-oil causes of autism, she forwarded this article to me with one line, "This must be the reason." FWIW.
Anyway, I came two years later without complications. I also exhibited many odd behaviors that worried my parents at first, but wound up not being autistic.
Hang in there and keep your chin up. Your younger son might be fine.

He is fine. I know that's not what you mean, but regardless of the diagnosis, he is a wonderful child, and I would not have him any other way. My worry isn't for my children, but for the way society treats those with autism.
