I'm not sure what you mean by overturned - if your son is diagnosed as Autistic it is likely because he is Autistic. There is little reason to overturn a diagnosis and he would still be Autistic whether he has the official diagnosis or not.
My son was diagnosed with autism when he was two years old. My son receives many therapies for his autism.
No.
There are about an equal number of boys and girls who are diagnosed with severe cases of autism, but more boys than girls are diagnosed with moderate and mild cases of autism. It has not been determined whether this is because fewer girls have autism or because they are less likely to be diagnosed.
Yes, there are known situations of persons with autism having children with autism. There is a genetic component to autism. Some people with autism get married and have children. Some of those children have autism, but some do not. Autism varies in its severity, so other people might not recognize that a person has autism. Sometimes a parent with autism or Asperger's Syndrome is not diagnosed until after having a child with a more severe case that is diagnosed.
No. His son does not have autism, but Jack Black himself does.

When she was a child, Temple Grandin was diagnosed as having autism. If she were being diagnosed today, it would probably be labeled Asperger's Syndrome.
Autism has a genetic component, so people can be born with it. Others are born with a susceptibility to autism that is probably triggered by an environmental factor. So, there are newborns with autism. Usually, autism is not diagnosed until age 2 or 3, but some cases are diagnosed earlier, and some are not identified until much later.
Autism is still called autism once a child reaches adulthood. Mild cases may be named something else, although closely related to autism, such as Aspergers. Some autistic patients are not diagnosed until they reach adulthood.
No, the CDC put the number of children diagnosed as being 1 in 68 which reflects the rate of autism on the whole. This also only accounts for those who are diagnosed, there may be greater numbers of people not diagnosed.
I don't know about that. But there are some children + adults with cerebral Palsy that are diagnosed with autism.
Those conditions are all commonly comorbid of autism spectrum disorders, so it is possible.
