Autism varies in severity. Some autistic people never learn to speak, and these people will need supervision all of their lives. In a less severe case, such as Asperger's Syndrome, interpersonal relations are difficult, but necessary skills can still be learned, if the person is given extra help. Be patient.

How is autism inherited?
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.

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.
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.
Is Autism recessive?
At this point, no one can say for certain that autism is even a genetic trait, as the causes are not fully known or understood. There are certainly some genetic factors that seem to play into whether someone will develop autism, but it isn't as simple as dominant/recessive genes. Environmental factors, diet, vaccines, and other variables have also been suspected as autism causes or triggers. If it were strictly a genetic disorder, it would be a recessive trait. If it were dominant, the number of people with autism would be much greater. The logic behind that is probably beyond the scope of this question.

Is there any record of someone with autism giving birth to a child with autism?
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.

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.
Is autism mental or a disibility physical?
Autism is not mental or physical per say, nor is it always a disability.
