Autism is not traditionally x-linked. If it were x-linked dominant, all females of an affected father would have it (since they always get one x from their fathers). If it were x linked recessive, then it would skip a generation and NO male sons of an affected father would have Autism. There is evidence that there is a relation to sex, given the increased ratio of affected boys to girls, but it's a complicated mix of genetic and nongenetic causes (i.e. imprinting of genes, comorbid diagnoses).

When the trait is on the X-chromosomes what is it called?
When a trait is located on the X chromosome, it is referred to as an X-linked trait. This means the trait is inherited through the X chromosome and can show different patterns of inheritance compared to traits on autosomes. Examples of X-linked traits include red-green color blindness and hemophilia.
If a characteristic is X-linked it?
If a characteristic is X-linked, it is located on the X chromosome. This means that the inheritance pattern of the characteristic will follow X-linked inheritance, and it can affect males more commonly than females because males only have one X chromosome.
Are all sex-linked traits located on the X chromosome?
No, not all sex-linked traits are located on the X chromosome. Some sex-linked traits can also be located on the Y chromosome.

Which parent passes autism?
Autism is believed to be genetic, it's more strongly linked to the father but can be a result of both parents genes. There are theories that Autism is not just linked to specific genes but to pairs of genetic mutations from both parents, that when paired result in Autism.
What type of mutation causes autism?
The mutation that causes Autism is a rare genetic mutation. There are three different genes that are linked to the cause of different disorders on the Autism Spectrum.

Can high levels of lead in children lead to autism?
While high lead levels are linked to mental retardation and central nervous system damage in infants and children, they have not been specifically linked to autism.
What medications have been linked to the development of autism?
There is no specific medication that has been definitively linked to the development of autism. Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder with a variety of genetic and environmental factors that may contribute to its development. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for accurate information and guidance on this topic.
Is autism linked to pre-birth epidural?
No, Autism isn't linked to pre-birth epidural.Autism is a neurological difference, like with Neurotypical people it develops as the brain develops during the second trimester and is as a result of genetic factors.
How are heavy metals linked to autism and what impact do they have on individuals with this condition?
Research suggests that heavy metals like lead and mercury may be linked to autism by affecting brain development and function. These metals can disrupt neurological processes and contribute to symptoms of autism, such as impaired communication and social interaction. Individuals with autism may be more sensitive to the effects of heavy metals, which can worsen their symptoms and overall quality of life.
Why is autism considered a genetic disorder?
Autism is considered to be a genetic disorder because it is caused by a persons genes. It's linked to a number of individual genes and genetic mutations.
Is fragile x like Autism?
no Added: Fragile X is like autism in that the condition can be a spectrum disorder, no or mild symptoms to severe symptoms. Fragile X is Genetic, the genetics of Autism are still being determined. Fragile X can be diagnosed any where by any doctor by a simple blood test, Autism is a subjective diagnosis based on evaluations and observations.
How kids have gotten autism from vaccines?
They haven't. It turned out that the medical study linking autism to vaccines was a hoax!!! The doctor responsible lost his medical license. The medical community has rejected that study, and doesn't believe autism is linked to vaccines.
