In case of di-zygotic (non-identical) twins if one sibling has Autism then the chance of the other sibling having autism is 25-30%.\u00a0 The speculation is role of an additional factor in <em>utero <\/em>that may have increased the risk of the di-zygotic twin from developing Autism. There is a floating theory that the increase in Testosterone levels may up the risk for Autism <em>in utero<\/em>. But it hasn\u2019t been conclusively proven yet. We still have a lot to learn about the genetics of Autism from more widespread twin studies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLAIMER: Please note that this guide is for information purposes only.
