One with autism, one without. I say this study proves NOTHING! What about families with six children (no twins) and all the kid's have autism. What about families with 6 children and only one child has autism? I do not for one minute believe autism is genetic. Please spend the research money in other areas of research to find the cause. This is such a waste of research money! Consider researching the data on all families with children diagnosed with autism. Bet similar percentages will be found in these families without twins also.
