| This study does not mean marijuana use is a cause of autism ans is not useful in the nature vs nurture debate about autism. There are so many biases possible in this kind of study.

Yes, severity of autism symptoms may vary greatly between identical twin.
The fact is that the results of studies on identical twins may also vary greatly and that none gives a satisfactory explanation for this riddle. |
