Can a person be a carrier for a dominant genetic disorder?
Anyone can be a carrier of a recessive genetic disorder (as long as it is not associated with the sex chromosomes) no matter what their gender since "carrier" refers to an individual that is heterozygous for the recessive allele and therefore phenotypically normal. Specifically, sexlinked genetic disorders can be "carried" by a heterozygous female but males (having only one X chromosome) cannot. Males will either be free of the defective gene or be affected.
Is there an actual autism spectrum?
Yes, an autism spectrum exists. It involves autistic disorder, asperger syndrome childhood disintegrative disorder, rett syndrome and persuasive developmental disorder; depending on the affected individual, he or she can display mild, severe or symptoms somewhere in between based on these categories. Behaviors displayed can vary from individual to individual and individual variations exist as well. Autistic disorder is the most severe form of autism and asperger sydrome is the mildest form.
Is Wilson's disease a sex-linked or autosomal disorder?
Wilson's disease is an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning that both copies of the gene associated with the disease must be mutated for the individual to develop the condition. It is not a sex-linked disorder, as it does not depend on the individual's sex for inheritance.
