Asperger Causes - Is Asperger Syndrome Genetic?

Most experts will say that asperger causes a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Asperger runs in families. Siblings of this people are more likely to be diagnosed with asperger syndrome, and twins are extremely likely to share asperger syndrome.

This means there is almost certainly a genetic component to autism / asperger.
But that doesn't necessarily mean that a single gene is reponsible, or that genetics is the only risk factor for mild autism.

In fact, most researchers believe that a combination of several genetic differences, PLUS some form of environmental "insult," may lead to autism/ asperger syndrome.
