    I would assume that one or both of the parents have ASD if their kids have ASD. It could be recessive genes 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.
