Rett Syndrome,which is in the autistic spectrum was found to be genetic in ‘99 and there is actually a genetic test for it .

It is believed that autism is genetic because of its similarities to Rett Syndrome and that it tends to run in families.

Yes, a “cure” is possible and Rett Syndrome symptoms have been reveRett Syndromeed in mice in this study. You can’t reveRett Syndromee the gene, but you can reveRett Syndromee symptoms with treatment…at least in mice.

Its still probably many years before Rett Syndrome becomes treatable and even farther out for autism because they still have not find the gene that causes it yet.
