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 Dian Fossey have autism and what kind?
There is no definitive evidence to suggest that Dian Fossey had autism. Without a formal diagnosis made during her lifetime, it is speculative to assign a specific type of autism to her.
What chromosome is autism on?
Yes. There is a link, but this does not mean it causes autism. However, there are some aspects of chromosome 1 that make it of interest in autism research. They do not describe it as causing autism, but instead as an autism susceptibility gene. Links to articles, abstracts, or reviews are in the "Related Links" section below.
Can stem cells get rid of autism?
Stem cells are not a proven or recommended treatment for autism. Current research on stem cell therapy for autism is still in its early stages and more studies are needed to determine its safety and effectiveness. It's important to consult with healthcare professionals for evidence-based treatments for autism.
Would you be at a greater risk of having a child with autism if the mother is mid thirties in age and the father has a half brother with autism?
Yes. A woman's risk of having a child with autism increases with age. Women in their 30s and 40s are at a higher risk than younger women, and if the father's half-brother inherited autism from the parent that gave birth to the father then the likelihood of him passing it on is slightly increased as any family history of autism will make it more likely to appear in future generations. Though most cases of autism are relatively mild, the severity of the case cannot be predicted by past cases in the family. For instance, the father's half brother could be severely autistic, but he may still father an unaffected child, or one with a very mild case. I would contact a genetic counselor for further review. If this is not possible, contacting a gynecologist/obstetrician is a good idea because they deal with health issues of the embryo and fetus and further explore the risks. In fact, the risk of having an autistic child increases with the father's age. The older the father is, the bigger the chance is.
What blood type is most likely to have autism?
There is no known direct association between blood type and autism. Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental condition with multiple factors contributing to its development. Factors such as genetics, environmental influences, and prenatal development are thought to play a role in the development of autism.
Is Autism inherited?
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.
Are crooked pinkies related to autism?
No. Crooked pinkies can be inherited, so both autism and crooked pinkies could occur in several members of a family, but they are not connected.
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.
