just knew that my husband has autism, currently pregnant with his son

Hi Moms... I’m really disappointed right now... it turns out my husband has autism, although it’s a mild level... but he never told me this before. I never suspected anything because I didn’t feel like there was anything wrong. Sometimes his behavior was a bit strange, but I thought that’s just how he is. I saw it as just his quirks. It’s not that I don’t want to accept him, but now I’m pregnant with his child and I’m so scared that his autism will be passed down to our baby. I’m not ready. What should I do, moms? 😭😭

so what? u married your husband. he must be an amazing man. everyone has something these days. for those who are not diagnosed with any illness, they will have other vices like being toxic or stupid. all child is unique and have their own path in this world. maybe u will have some other illness in years to come and what if ur husb is the one who is disappointed in you?? this is such a weird statement to say about the love of your life. anyone can be diagnosed with anything at any point of their life. family stick together. there are no perfect person in this world. be thankful that its just autism and not cancer or anything serious like that.
