Chapter 3: Letter 1
My sister is having twins and it has raised my curiosity about my own prospects for having twins. Do multiple births run in families? If
so, is that true for both identical and fraternal twins and/or multiples? Are the incidents of multiple births rising or do we just hear
more about them today? If one identical twin acquires an addition or disorder such as autism, does it mean the other one will also
acquire the disorder?
