One reason a child with autism may be more active is that they are craving sensory input, such as running up and down or pinching objects, etc.
Another reason may be because they are anxious or distressed by sensory information (eg a ventilation system, or a noisy classroom)

Is it possible for only one twin to develop autism?
Yes, it is possible. In one study, the chance that an identical twin has autism when the other does is 82%. That means that 18% of the identical twins did not have autism. It is much more likely that an identical twin will have autism if the other does than that a fraternal twin or other sibling will, but it does not happen every time.
Should children be physically active less than more than twice as much or same amount as adults?

Do you say autistic children or autism children?
You would say Autistic children.Although person-first language is considered politically correct for most disabilities, for example 'person with Down Syndrome', with autism identity-first language is considered to be correct. Thus it is in fact 'Autistic children' and not 'children with autism' - although always respect the individuals preferred term.Identity-first language isn't defining someone by their condition but recognizing it as part of who they are, much like you would say 'gay person' or 'African-American person'.
Can autism grow at your age?
Autism refers to a neurology, it's not something that can 'grow' at all. Autistic symptoms can improve, worsen, or change as an Autistic person gets older - it's typically more severe in children, but older people can show worsening symptoms too or can simply stop caring so much about hiding their autism.
How much more common is Asperger's Syndrome than autism?

What are the chances of being born with autism?
I think it is about 1 in every 150 kids. however, it is more common in males, but i am not sure why. It is FOUR times more likely in males, however Autism affects people of ALL racial, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. Luckily the amount of child with autism has gone down. It use to be 1 in 150 but, now it's 1 in 110. Not much of a difference but, it counts.

Is Asperger syndrome genetic?
Response:There is a genetic component to Asperger's Syndrome. If you have a blood relative with autism or Asperger's Syndrome, you are more likely than average to have a child with autism or Asperger's Syndrome, but it does not mean that you will. If both parents have autism or Asperger's Syndrome, there is an even greater likelihood that they will have children with autism or Asperger's Syndrome, but it does not mean that all or any of their children will. Ongoing research is attempting to determine causes of autism spectrum disorders, but there are still many unanswered questions.I think that there is a strong genetic component to Asperger's Syndrome. Ever since I found that I had it I have begun to notice many of my family members who behave somewhat eccentrically. My father definitely has it. As do most of my relatives on my father's side to some degree or the other.Response:Yes! Asperger's Syndrome is definitely genetic! It's a 50-50 possibility my paternal grandmother had it, because she was "eccentric" herself!Response:There is a strong genetic component as shown in twin studies, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you will inherit it from your parents, or that your children will inherit from you, only that you have a higher likelihood of having AS than the general population if someone in your family has AS or autism.If you have one child with autism or AS, there is an increased chance that a second child will have autism or AS. If you have two children with autism or AS, it is much more likely that your other children will also have autism or AS.
Is childhood disintegrative disorder a form of autism?
Childhood Disintegrative Disorder (CDD) has several characteristics of autism involving developmental regression in communication and motor skills, but doesn't share the exact same framework of autism. CDD represents a much more drastic loss of skills, and occurs at an older age than autism. Classic autism typically occurs between 15-30 months of age, when kids learn to speak, walk, and eat with utensils. CDD typically doesn't occur until 3-4 years of age, thus affected kids may have been toilet trained, and learned everything they should up to that age, and then their developmental trajectories suddenly stop and reverse cycle, going all the way back to infantilism;diapers, nonveral, etc. CDD is much more related to profound mental retardation than typical autism. It's also much less common than autism. Autism affects about 1 in 150 children, and CDD affects about 1 in 100,000 children.
Why does autism exist?
Why do we exist at all, any of us? Autism is who a person is, it's as much a part of a person as their race or their sex, and it is as much a variation in humankind as different eye colours, skin colours, etc. Autism is simply a variation in humankind, it needs no more explanation than this.
What percent of children that have not been vaccinated have autism?
The exact same percent as children that have been vaccinated. There is absolutely no link what-so-ever between vaccinations and Autism, a child is born Autistic and vaccinations cannot time-travel to change the childs development in the womb or change it's parents genes.
