Autism: Autism is not a contagious disease. There are several different kinds of autism so the full explanation of autism cannot be fully illuminated here. But, it is a brain disease. Not a Sexually transmitted one.

Autism: is not a contagious disease. It is a developmental disorder. No one is really sure of the cause, although there have been some recent genetic links found. No, it is not related to vaccination, either. It cannot be passed through kissing or sex or any other means. A child conceived with your boyfriend may have autism. Good luck!

No you can't get it: No one really knows the true cause of autism. Most believe there is a genetic or environmental link. You can't "get it" from sex or kissing. If you have children together your child may have autism.
