Simblings of an ASD achieve ASD traits too? Is it genetic?

I noticed that people growing together achieve same traits but as ASD myself I do noticed that.
I'm watching this and ok he isn't officially ASD but in many moments he suggested to be (the one in the middle) but the one in left isn't surely but looks to had achieve some traits. I don't post the video because is 1 hour boring in pure italian.

Would it because he was grew with him? Would because it is genetic?
It is something I do have noticed.

He isn't, surely, but I cannot understand if those traits (don't care about others, living in his own world...) are linked to this.

I mean the one in center, the ASD, is Clark Kent alike while his brother is alike an hippie/ascetic.
The brother is also many time the one who explain I had noticed and is his personal trainer.

Edit: my uncle is probably ASD.

Not in my case.

My NT sister doesn't have any particular autistic trait.

And any traits I have in common with her are traits we do got from our parents, ways we're influenced primarily by our mom.

My mom is the opposite of what autistic looked like in a sense that's not very typical from an NT. (Some NTs have some autistic traits even mild, my mom practically doesn't and more)
Her attitude, her personality, etc. I never reasonated with her as an autistic my whole life and she can never understand.

My dad, he himself not an ND but some has traits in this side though not particularly autistic.



In my own case, I don't know. I'm an anomaly. :lol:
I don't have a lot of autistic relatives -- I only known like 2 out of practically near a hundred relatives I known aware to exists, a quarter of them I knew close enough.

Whole we got everything in distant relatives, that's why whole the classist and racist and homophobic theories as just stupid... I choose to follow the traditional path of folk catholic magick, for example, because is closer but of course everybody we got something in common... we are humans, in the end.

Surely I've got long distant muslim relatives, surely some are black and whatever... is stupid reject this, that's what I do reply always to ignorants.

I have two siblings. One is also diagnosed autistic. (The other is ADHD, and I don't know about ASD for him.)

Pretty sure my mom is also autistic, and I believe my grandmother was as well.

definitely genetic in my mothers side of the family, autistic individuals in each generation as far back as I can discover, one sibling definitely autistic, the other 2 maybe, both also have been diagnosed as bipolar.
science today has shown that the majority of autism is genetic. More is being discovered as time goes by.
we are not alone!
