Hi! That is a very difficult question to answer as there are a huge number of genes that cause Autism and there are likely some that haven't been discovered. There is a sex link with Autism (it affects boys at a rate of 1:42 and girls at a rate of 1:189) but despite this most scientists will try to make it easier to understand they will tell you that it is autosomal.
