personally, as someone who's really interested in genetics, my hypothesis is that autism is at least partially genetic.

Absolutely. My parents are autistic, and their parents showed signs of undiagnosed autism. 
It is likely entirely genetics, but im NOT qualified so do NOT listen to me.

autism has been in my family for ages, including ADHD.

Both me and my uncle are autistic, and my grandpa has some signs of undiagnosed autism.

I'm glad each day more people know about autism. I know some people still misunderstand it, but saying fake statements publicly that have been refuted many times it's not good because it can make more people misunderstand. I just hope the people who were in the press conference learn more about autism before talking about it publicly again.
