If both parents are autistic or neurodivergent, then it's likely our son can be too?

It wasn't until my later adulthood years that I've realized there were signs of neurodiversion within me. Many years ago, this has caused misunderstanding among people, getting emotionally bullied during my early school years, a harder time forming friendships as well as losing acquaintances (never progression to close friendship level) after an argument and had few tolerant friends. Maybe a couple people were intially interested in me but fewer understood me. My mother said I was already diagnosed by a doctor as toddler (but another told her no, other wasn't sure); telling her I had autistic traits, there was no cure but it was a mild level. They told her that as an adult, I would still be able to function in society, have more self-control over those traits and go to school.

My younger brother has been officially diagnosed last year too. He's also a mild version but with depression and anxiety too. Ever since becoming more aware of my different cognitive process, I'm able to notice others with similar condition. I'm noticing my husband shows signs of neurodiversion too but like me, is a mild version. If this might be inherited (my mother had me in her early 20's so it's not due to age), then our son can be one too? He's now 15 months old and is progress is within the age range. The teachers in his early stimulation classes said he's doing good at this age. He's walking, playing with or throwing toys, blabbing that sounds like he's trying to form words, pointing to the picture of daddy (who will come in Nov) when I asked him where daddy is, respond to his name, etc. But since it's early to tell yet, our son can still be within the spectrum too?

I love my husband if he's within the spectrum too. Even better since we can understand each other better. My only concern is with our son. We want a better upbringing for him. He don't want him to understand bullying at school later on nor struggling socializing with people. That's the issue.
