True for some: Emerging data is finding irregularities in the gene code information of many of those with autism. Specialty labs can find areas where code was lost or extra "nonsense" code inserted in otherwise normal chromosomes.This would be present from conception. Whether this is the only origin for autism is hard to say at this point, but may become evident with further research.
