What is the chance that a younger brother or sister of a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) will also have an ASD?
Studies show that families who have a child with ASD are at increased risk for having subsequent children with ASD. However, estimates of how likely this is, known as recurrence, vary widely. The EARLI Study plans to learn more about this with the data collected. For information on this, please see our Recurrence Fact Sheet.
