So then Autism is genetic?


I went through college believing more in nurture vs nature.

Now , perhaps as a learning lesson I am accepting my diagnosis. This questiond many of my theories now. My theroy of sexual imprinting, alcoholism being a learned behavior etc.

I realise now I WANTED this to be enviromental because its a simple cause and effect. Now I bellieve genetics are responsibloe?

So sexual orientation is not a response , etc?

So a gain I ask Is or IS NoT autism heriditary?
With that knowledge should I forget having kids? Is THAT idea wrong?

Damn, I don't know WHat to believe or think anymore.

If all the children are autistic, that says more for a genetic or prenatal cause than for thimerosol.
