Just wanted to ask anyone else out there with aspie/autie children what they thought of something my son said.

He admitted to me that sometimes he wonders if I'm really me, or if I'm a robot impersonating his mother. He says he's only ever wondered that about me, nobody else. He also is going through some extremes of mood, getting so depressed he's mentioned suicide (twice now over three months) though he seems to return to "normal" quite quickly.

Since I have a diagnoses of schizoaffective disorder, and my mother had schizophrenic and bipolar symptoms, I'm understandably very worried about whether he's inherited anything off me.

Might it "just" be issues to do with his autism? Or could he be prodormal?
