No. Autism isn’t caused by an infectious disease like HIV or the common cold, so it cannot be passed from person to person. But because genes influence autism, it can run in families.
Autism is not a disease. It is not infectious and cannot be passed on. It is a genetic condition, so the only way it can be passed on is through the passing on of affected genes within families.
No. Its not something that spreads between people like a cold or the flu. The exact causes for autism are not fully understood but it is likely to have a genetic component, which means the wat the brain develops is different to a person without autism.
As has been said the answer is no, Autism is not a disease and cannot be caught or spread. Sometimes it seems as though a disease or issue like Autism is becoming more common when in fact we are just becoming more aware of it. It was always there we’re just better at diagnosing it.
