    So many misconceptions in this writeup.

    Here's one: even if it were genetic, there could be triggering environmental factors that trigger the onset of autism (I'm just giving a hypothetical example, not making a claim here).

      Wouldn’t susceptibility to those environmental factors be dictated by your genetics?
