Is autism a genetic disorder?
Genetic in the sense like its in the persons DNA to behave that way. I have been reading articles about how the symptoms of autism is getting better by changing the diet,nutrition intake and taking care of the gut flora. The kid is now 11 years old. He hasn't been breastfed and the mother when she was 7 months of pregnancy had a high pressure.

No causal factors have definitely been identified as to autism.
In any case,this child has to have behavioral,occupational and physical therapy.
