McD smu!mcdonald is right, Sara Grey is indeed Jean's sister. The name of her husband and second child have never been revealed, as far as I know. In an interview in The X-Men Companion Vol II Claremont and Louise Jones (now Simonson) mentioned that Sara's two children were probably mutants, possibly a recieving and projecting empath who would work as a team. Xavier's autistic son is also about 14, and should be showing up in the New Mutants any issue now. My two best guesses for why he is autistic are 1) He can't control his telepathy and he's retreated into a corner of his mind and pulled the hole in after him to get away from everyone's thoughts, or 2) (much more unlikely, although *I* like the idea) he's found the world of people's imaginations so wonderful that he has no desire to return to the real world - he seems autistic to us, but it's really we who are crippled. This latter idea is interesting for several reasons - as an example of a mutant who is *very* different from humans and has no interest in living a "normal" life, and as a serious problem for Xavier. Will he force his son back into the "real" world, ramming normality down his throat? Or will he realize his son is better off as he is, and if he leaves him that way will anyone else (the boy's mother and Moira especially) understand his reasons? More likely CC will just have Xavier heal the boy after much soul-searching and mental- twisting-of-hands, without bringing up the more interesting possibility.
