It depends on which component of autism you are refering to. A deficit in language, socialization and language are typically present in order to get a diagnosis of autism. I am a behavioral interventionist and work with children with autism daily. I would highly recommend researching Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to gain more information. Essentially, ABA addresses each component of autism from a behavioral perspective and has been clinically shown to have significant effects on the treatment of children with autism. This is by far the most widely used method (behaviorally speaking) for children with autism.
Infantile autism is an early form of Autism Spectrum Disorder that appears in very young children, typically before the age of 3. It affects how a child communicates, interacts with others, and responds to the world around them. Children with infantile autism may show signs such as: Limited eye contact Delayed speech or language development Difficulty responding to their name Preference for playing alone Repetitive behaviors like hand-flapping or lining up toys Strong sensitivity to sounds, lights, or textures Because symptoms begin in infancy or early toddler years, early observation by parents and pediatricians is important. Identifying these developmental differences early can help children receive therapies that support communication, learning, and daily functioning. If a child shows persistent developmental delays or social communication difficulties, a developmental evaluation by specialists can help determine whether the child may be on the autism spectrum and what kind of support would be helpful. Early guidance from experienced clinicians can make a meaningful difference in planning the right care and developmental support.

Biologial. Autism is neurodevelopmental. There are hereditary and genetic ties to autism.
No, Jedward do not have autism.
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.

No, autism is rare and not contagious.
Autism isn't a disease or a virus, thus there are no strains of autism. Autism is just autism, it was previously split up into Autism Spectrum Disorder (Classic Autism), Asperger Syndrome, Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS), childhood disintegrative disorder, and Rett Syndrome - now all are merged under the Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis.
Autism isn't located in the brain, autism is a type of brain. Autism is a neurological variation, we don't say that autism is in the brain in the same way that we don't say that African-American is in the skin.
