There is a great video on you tube called "severe autism when there is no answer" The video is made by a man with Aspergers (a fellow aspie) who also has an autistic son. Very enlightening. Youll be surprised. Autism is a spectrum disorder, however, more and more, Severe autism is not being shown to the public.

Interestingly, when I was pregnant with him, I was under extreme, prolonged stress. For example, I was taking a full load at college. Second, I had just broken up with my boyfriend and had to go on welfare. Third, my mother and I were fighting. Forth, I was living in a hostile, violent neighborhood. Consequently, I was always on edge. Always stressed out. Always nervous. I remember one day having a panic attack, though I didn't realize what it was at the time. I wonder how many other mothers of autistic children were under pervasive or unusal stress while pregnant with their children who would later be diagnosed with autism. My son has severe autism.
