Firstly, it's offensive for you to imply that autistic people are abnormal - autistic people are different to neurotypical people, not less than. A person is born autistic, it is not something that happens to 'normal' people or something that you turn into, you are always autistic.
Your autistic child may not recognise their name as their name. Many autistic people are disconnected from how they are percieved by others, not all Autistic people accept the name given to them as representitive of them.
Autistic people are normal - so yes, if both parents are autistic they may have an autistic child or a neurotypical child, either way that child is normal.
You don't - if an Autistic child is upset then increasing their stress by touching them isn't going to help. Autistic people usually have sensory issues, invading their space and touching them when upset is thus at best a bad idea and at worst could be considered to be abusive.

Autistic children DO feel pain.
There's no such thing as a 'minor case of autism', you're either Autistic or you're not. If you are Autistic it is more likely that your children will be Autistic too as it is genetic.
It depends on the use.Autism as an identity is capitalized - for example Autistic person, Autistic child, Autistic community.Autism as a diagnosis or things for autism are not - for example autism diagnosis, autism classroom.
No, it is not okay for a teacher to grab an autistic child by the wrist. For that matter it is not okay for a teacher to grab the wrist of any child, this would count as assault.
The following numbers are approximations since different studies have found slightly different results. The chance of having one child with autism might be as high as 1 in 100. After having one child with autism, the chance of having a second child with autism is 1 in 20. After having two children with autism, the chance of having a third child with autism is 1 in 3.
You don't have a child with autism, you have an Autistic child - recognise their identity. Having an Autistic child isn't what makes you depressed, the fact you're ableist towards that child is making you depressed because you believe that child is worth less as an Autistic person.Get away from other 'Autism Moms'/'Autism Parents' and avoid organizations like Autism Speaks which see Autism as a bad thing, go talk to Autistic people and parents who are allies to their Autistic children so you get a better understanding of how to effectively care for your child and stop seeing them as some sort of burden. Your child is not to blame for your depression.
There are few clubs available for your autistic child. I would suggest looking on www.autistic.org to further look at more information for you and your child.
