We have no way of knowing which race has the most Autistic people.

Autism diagnosis is likely most common in the US, whereas it would be practically unheard of in less developed countries such as India or in countries where there may be stigma attached to neurological conditions such as South Africa. We also know that in the US minorities such as African-Americans are less likely to get diagnosed because of poverty - people cannot afford diagnosis, people cannot risk higher insurance rates for autistic people, and parents may be worried about shaming if they can't afford expensive autism treatments they're expected to buy into.

Diagnosis figures are all we have to go on to figure out how many Autistic people there are, but many Autistic people are not diagnosed, thus we can't make meaningful observations like this yet.

Does asthma affect specific populations of people?

We don't know if Autism is more common in one race in particular.

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.
