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.

Is it possible for a twin to be born with the other twin growing on the inside of said twin?
It is possible but very reare and only occurs in i in every 500,000 live births.
Is Asperger's Syndrome more common in twins?
I have not seen any studies on whether twins are more likely to have an autism spectrum disorder than single-birth children. It is possible that no one has done research on this. If one identical twin has an autism spectrum disorder, there is approximately a 90% chance that the other identical twin will. They might not have the same autism spectrum disorder or they might have the same disorder at different levels of severity. Many studies show the chance that they both have it if one twin does as somewhere between 82% and 97%. If the twins are fraternal (non-identical) twins and one has an autism spectrum disorder, the other has about the same chance of having an autism spectrum disorder as non-twin siblings do, which is greater than the chance of having an autism spectrum disorder in a family that does not have any history of it.
Do you have to be a twin to get stigmata?
If you don't already know what Stigmata is, it is possible to get it but it has no relation if you are a twin. You only get Stigmata if you steal something holy from the dead or are extremely religous. Its possible to get stigmata but you really don't wannna get it. So if your twin gets it. your in for a hell of a week
If you have twin girls of 4 years old that a psychologist thinks have autism could it be twin syndrome instead?
Only a certified mental health professionnal can provide a person with a diagnosis. However, if you are uncertain, there is no harm whatsoever in getting a second profesionnal's opinion on the matter.
If one twin has austism is the other twin sure to have it too?
No, but it is possible
Can a twin be the only son of a mother?
Yes. It is possible to have a set of fraternal twins in which there is one boy and one girl.
Is there any genetic link in autism?
Yes, genetic influences on autism are believed to be 74%-98%. This figure comes from a large-scale research project on twins, where one twin was allistic and the other was Autistic. We do not know exactly what factors lead to autism, but as a normal human variant it was bound to be genetic.
Is it possible that a women can have twin baby by two different fathers?

Is there a link between iron deficiency and Asperger's Syndrome?
AnswerAsperger Syndrome is one of the diagnoses included in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and there are many factors which may contribute to the structural abnormalities in the developing brain that are responsible for the behaviors often seen in ASD. The National Institute of Mental Health has a summary page on the causes of ASD which can be found in the link below entitled Research into Causes and Treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorders. Here are a couple of quotes from that article:Evidence points to genetic factors playing a prominent role in the causes for ASD. Twin and family studies have suggested an underlying genetic vulnerability to ASDandRecent neuroimaging studies have shown that a contributing cause for autism may be abnormal brain development beginning in the infant's first months. This"growth dysregulation hypothesi" holds that the anatomical abnormalities seen in autism are caused by genetic defects in brain growth factors. It is possible that sudden, rapid head growth in an infant may be an early warning signal that will lead to early diagnosis and effective biological intervention or possible prevention of autism.From these articles and the studies they are based on, it looks like the primary causes of Autism, and thus Aspergers is genetic. Additionally, there is no link between childhood vaccines and autism. Please see the link below entitled Vaccines and Autism.Answer:Because of the twin studies showing that if one identical twin has autism or Asperger's Syndrome, the other twin almost but not always has it, it is suspected that sometimes the genetic aspect of autism and Asperger's Syndrome might need to be triggered by an environmental factor. This environmental factor could be prenatal or in the first months after birth.
What if one identical twin is diagnosed as schizophrenic there is a high probability that the other twin will also have this mental disturbance?
The other twin will develop it somewhat under 50 percent of the time.
Is a 5.2l v10 twin turbocharged engine possible?
