When my mom was pregnant with me, my dad made an entire spreadsheet of possible names, ranging from the past 50 years on popularity. He’s never been diagnosed anything. When I got diagnosed I was sure it was from him, nope! It was my mom!

It’s more typically passed down by fathers so it might just get his autism? But maybe it can get autism squared or even cancel out! Lol
