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 had Liam when I was 36 and my husband was 48.

My first child has ADHD, but my 2nd child was born Autistic. It likely was partially due to my age being 41 when I had my 2nd.
