Can siblings both have autism?

Seen it before. This is not my nickname so don't shoot the messanger or anything but they used to call these guys dumb and dumber at the job sites.

They were known in some circles for being terrible workers but luckily for them there's a lot of stereotypically old-school Italians running shit around here so they kind of give them simple jobs so they have money to put a roof over them and their mom's heads. So when they mess stuff up the Italian guy would just curse and make a bunch of wise-ass remarks.

It's like being on a sitcom from the 60's

Do you mean both of you at the same time yes that's very possible when could have autism one could have ashberg and you can both be geniuses yes why would you think that you couldn't have it are two people have it at the same time and whatever you do if you have this don't degrade yourself and don't belittle yourself and don't think anything other than you are more or less a genius as far as I'm concerned you have the ability to understand and you're aware that you even have it that's a beautiful thing because now you can learn from it and you can teach others from it and that right there makes you number one in my book

Since autism is genetic, yes, both siblings can have autism.

In most families that I know who have a child, or adult child, who is on the autism spectrum, one of the parents also appears to be at least somewhat on the spectrum.

Yes they can, higher chance if twins.

but it’s a recognised risk.

Autism does have a genetic link so absolutely.
