I too have a child with Autism, though she is under 3 and we're still learning more about what her challenges long term might be. I also am an engineer and the son of an engineer. My wife is a pharmacist and highly educated. We also dated in high school. I know that within my paternal family there is a long history of high intellect and lack of social skills. It's curious to me how much can be attributed to parents with higher education and means being more proactive to get a diagnosis for a high functional child versus the same demographic just being predisposed to ASD offspring.
