Autism is not contagious. It is not a disease. It is a neurological disorder, which means the brain is different from the typical brain. It can be inherited, but cannot be spread by contact with a person who has autism.
No, it is not contagious.
Asperger's Syndrome is a developmental impairment within the autism spectrum. It is usually mild. Most children with Asperger's grow to be productive members of society. Many demonstrate fantastic talent in a certain human endeavor. They are all socially awkward, but usually learn to cope as they progress into adulthood. There is no strong scientific consensus as to what causes it, but it is not a contagious pathogen. It cannot be "caught."
My own daughter has Asperger's Syndrome. She is a delightful 17-year-old young woman. She is a "strange bird," an amazing artist, and possesses Jesus/Ghandi-like understanding and compassion for others. Knowing her has led me to wonder just who is impaired, and who is not.
Even at her age, she seems to me void of any guile or deceit, like a small child. I am compelled to wish that Asperger's was contagious, and that the whole mean World would catch it.
No, autism cannot spread because autism is not a disease or a virus.
Autism is a neurological difference, that means our brains are different to the brains of neurotypical people. A difference in the brain cannot spread to other people any more than my having green eyes will make you have green eyes too, it's purely down to genetics.
Autism does not spread like a disease. It has a genetic component, so it can be inherited.

Infantile Autism is when a baby or toddler (an Infant) has autism.
Basicly, autism is something you are born to have, not something that you could grow into. So, adult autism, means that a child with autism grows up and become an adult with autism. However, if you didn't find out that you have autism until you are an adult, then your autism must be the mild kind on the entire autism spectrum.
Biologial. Autism is neurodevelopmental. There are hereditary and genetic ties to autism.
No, Jedward do not have autism.
No, Macy Gray does not have autism, although she does shows for autism causes.
Autism can be inherited from parents with genes for autism. Autism can also be the result of the spontaneous mutation of a gene. It is suspected that a person with the genes for autism might need an environmental factor (in the womb or shortly after birth) to trigger the development of autism.
