Autism is defined on the basis of behaviour rather than genetics. Since the autism spectrum is rather large there isn't a single genetic offset which can be defined as a cause. There is however ( in the Netherlands ) the availability of WES which can be asked to focus on all known factors contributing to developmental delay (which might occur with autism, note that this is certainly not always the case)
