Do you capitalize the word autism?
You capitalize autism either when grammatically correct to do so (at the start of a sentence, for example), or when talking about Autistic people or the Autism community. As autism is an identity it means that when talking about us as people or as a community you will capitalize the word. It's similar to deaf/Deaf - 'when a person is deaf you refer to them as a Deaf person'.For example I am diagnosed with autism, thus I am an Autistic person.

Is it selfish for a deaf person to want their child to be deaf. Son is hearing impaired and girlfriend is deaf. Their baby can hear but she said she wishes the baby was deaf.?
It is more of a feeling that you want your child to be like you: there is honesty in stating the fact. Many deaf people do not see an advantage to hearing; in fact there is quite a controversy over the collinear implant solution that would restore hearing for some deaf people. However, the child will have an advantage in learning sign language to communicate with her deaf parent. Having access to language as a toddler aids learning skills.
Were autistic children mistaken as deaf?
Yes, I believe this happened over the years that most autistic children because of not responding to their names or certain sounds like clapping, conversations, shouts and such that they were mistaken as deaf children. Reason they don't react to certain sounds or people because of the sounds all around them-even though they don't seem too loud and because most autistic people are very uncomfortable with eye contact. Some deaf people can be autistic also.

Will your baby have autism if your girlfriends half brother has it?
It is unlikely that your child would have autism. There is a genetic component to autism, so it is more likely that you would have a child with autism than a couple with no history of autism in their backgrounds. However, it is still more likely that your child will not have autism than have autism.
