Ashamed of my genetics

My second son received his diagnosis today. His brother was the same age when he got his ASD diagnosis 2 years ago. Despite seeing it coming ive been in tears all day. My husband works away so couldn't be there for the appointment, same as last time. I feel broken. What is wrong with me?

Speaking is such a basic human skill, but i can't produce a child that can do it. I am such a failure at everything i do. My husband thinks im awful and selfish because I know my career is over and that makes me really upset. I cant commit to my job and manage the demands of 2 kids in multiple therapies. I feel like when the paediatrician handed me their signed report they basically handed me my divorce papers. Life is so cruel.
