But i think autism is hereditary and depends on the strength of the genes there inhereting it from. Because i see on TV where people have all autistic children where some families only have one autistic child. I think it varies from family & i believe genetics play a big role Also im a girl incase u were wondering i dont believe autism is more likely in boys either. Girls are just very good at blending in & just come off as shy which ppl think is a good thing not a problem & dont act out like autistic boys leaving girls in the dark undiagnosed<br><b>References : </b><br>I have aspergers a mild form of autism Well i have 5 brothers & 6 sisters and only i have it well aspergers anyway im also the youngest.
