A member asked:

How to tell if i carry the autism gene with my family history?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You can't: There is no single autism gene, therefore the only way of knowing with you are carrying any of the genes that make up autism would be to know whether anyone in your direct family line suffered from autism. Even then you could not state for certain whether or not you were carrying those jeans, rather it would just be an indicator that there is perhaps a greater likelihood that you have them.
