This, put together by Dr. Judy Badner at the University of Chicago in the late 1990s, is still relevant:

I would have had no information to make an informed decision on, and I am glad every day that I didn’t know beforehand, as I wouldn’t trade my kids for anything.

As parents who don’t think that autism is the end of the world, we need to be talking to the CMA and the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists to get real information about autism available to expectant parents, and to be incorporated into their ‘best practices’ guidelines. It can be done. After my triplets were born in 1995 groups like the Triplets, Quads, and Quints Association (now part of Multiple Births Canada), the Triplet Connection, and Mothers of Supertwins in the U.S. were able to get enough information out to obstetricians that couples were able to make informed decisions about reducing pregnancies to an ‘acceptable’ level (when my kids were born, reducing pregnancies from triplets or quads to twins was seen as the most acceptable option).

We can do whatever we like online, and follow our own agendas. But a prenatal test is coming, and if we can, we’d be very smart to already be laying the groundwork so that when an expectant couple walks into their doctor’s office, they don’t only have horror stories on autism to confront them.

Last night I spent an hour and a half listening to this lecture on “Eugenics, Race, and Bioethics”, given by Dr. Glenn McGee.

I highly recommend it when you have the time. He touches on issues of genetics, and how we are rushing blindly forward without stopping to consider what we are doing.
