"...A single sperm donor is the biological father of at least 12 children who all developed autism... in rare cases, genetic mutations are thought to be the main cause of autism. Only about 2% to 4% of people with autism have these mutations, according to the NIH.
"We call autism one thing, but it's different in every person. In some, it's all about the genes. Some it's a combination of genes and the environment. Some people, it's unknown," Dr. Wendy Chung, a professor of pediatric medicine at Columbia University, told the Post.
Studies of (the affected) children found that they had two mutations tied to autism in genes called MBD1 and SHANK1."
