Autism is not a disease or a virus, it cannot be passed onto someone else in the same way, Autism is a variant in neurology so it is 'passed on' in the same way as other human variations such as skin colour, or hair colour. Autism can be passed on through genetics, an Autistic person or couple are more likely to have Autistic children than Neurotypical parents.
