Autism has a genetic component, so people can be born with it. Others are born with a susceptibility to autism that is probably triggered by an environmental factor. So, there are newborns with autism. Usually, autism is not diagnosed until age 2 or 3, but some cases are diagnosed earlier, and some are not identified until much later.
