Bf has autistic sister. How likely will our daughter have autism?

My boyfriend is the younger child. His older sister is 24 and has autism. Her doctors say her mental age is that of a 6 year old at the absolute oldest.

Since I found out I was pregnant in April, I've asked my OB about the probability of my baby having autism. They have just been giving me the run around and I am beyond frustrated with the lack of cooperation and lack of helpfulness they have been. Next pregnancy and after I have my baby, I will not be going back to them.

Anyway. What is the probability of my daughter having autism? Beside's his sister, there is no one else on either sides of our family that have autism or any other developmental illness.
