Updated: 8/19/2019

I have experience with autism, my brother was diagnosed a few years ago. First of all, even though they have a tendency to be a bit slower with learning like an average human being would, kids with autism develop some skills faster and better than average humans. My younger brother, for example, is outstanding with his creativity skills. He is very logical and can solve logic problems in a blink of an eye. However, he struggles with school and his social connections with other people.

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.

Autism is not mental or physical per say, nor is it always a disability.
