It kind of sounds like you're saying these parents should have predicted their 3 twins would end up with autism. Which, you know, would be....deeply stupid

    I would assume that one or both of the parents have ASD if all 3 of their kids have ASD. I would hope that kind of stuff would be clarified when taking the guy's sperm, but who knows in some countries like the US right. It could be recessive genes, or something environmental like smoking/drinking while pregnant though

    Not everyone who has ASD gets a diagnosis, not everyone with ASD is non functional. Two adults can have ASD without knowing it, and even if they do, it's perfectly reasonable for them to assume their children will be like them, functional and happy.
