Strongly heriditary. When you married within the local village the chance/risk of your spouse also being on the spectrum was lower than when you matchmake through online services and hundreds of dates.

Genotype x Environment = Phenotype.

So is it genetic background or is it your neurodivergent modeling of the behavior to them?

FYI it can't be determined without a much more in-depth genetic studies. This is especially true with complex multi-gene interaction traits like autism seems to be.

Wife is a psychologist working in diagnosis of ADHD and autism. I'll go with the knowledge I've gotten from there. Thanks.
