I am no expert in autism (yet), but I am in school to work with autistic children.
I believe it is genetic, but mostly from the parents. Autism isn't very common either, so the chances of having an autistic child aren't all that likely.
I just also wanted to say that autistic children have wonderful hearts and pure intentions. There isn't anything wrong with them, so she shouldn't be scared to have one.
