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.

Can autism be inherited sexually?
It cannot be acquired sexually. However, it can be inherited genetically. While all direct causes for autism are not completely known, there are some studies that indicate that parent with particular autism or autism-like symptomology can contibute to the likelihood that autism will surface in their children, thus establish a possible link to inheritability of autism or autism spectrum disorders. There are links to reelin gene mutations that also give rise to autism as well.

How is autism inherited?
Scientist do not know it's cause, though some do believe that it is passed down throughout the generations always skipping some of course.So, yes basically it is genetic, but others do think it is caused by mercury in vaccines you get when you are at the age of 18 Months, because some people only get it when they are that age (well, start to show symptoms of it).I have looked up in the internet though some people who have relatives or know people, and they said they had had it for all their lives. There is believed to be a genetic component to it, as it does have a tendency to run in families.
Did you cause the deficit in your son's brain if you are a mother with Asperger's Syndrome and your husband has high-functioning autism with ADD and your entire family of three children are affected?
Since all three children are affected, it is likely that your son inherited the genetic tendency for an autism spectrum disorder rather than it being a spontaneous genetic mutation. He might have inherited it from either or both parents.
Can autism be inherited?
The current scientific information says that although they are yet to find the cause of Autism, it may be hereditary. This is due to the increased rate in familys, with someone affected by Autism, having another Autistic family member. It is also incredably common in identical twins for both to have Autism rather then just one. Scientists are currently trying to find what gene, if in fact it is a gene, that is causing Autism.
