Autism isn't something you 'get' you are born autistic - anyone can be born autistic, although there does seem to be a gentic link so often autistic people are more likely to have autistic children, or you often see multiple siblings in a single family with autism. As yet we don't know what causes autism, so we can't tell who is more likely to have autistic offspring.
