Much less progress has been made in identifying inherited variants, even though the disorder itself

Aging and autism spectrum disorder: Evidence from the broad autism phenotype [PDF]
Autism Research, 2016 This study investigated for the first time the broad autism phenotype (BAP) in the context of older adulthood and its associations with real‐world executive function, social support, and both depression and anxiety symptomatology. Based on self‐ratings of autistic traits, 66 older adults (60+ years old, range = 61–88) were split into BAP (n = 20) and ...

The broad autism phenotype predicts child functioning in autism spectrum disorders. [PDF]
J Neurodev Disord, 2013 Broad autism phenotype (BAP) is a milder expression of the social and communication impairments seen in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). While prior studies characterized the BAP in unaffected family members of probands with ASD, the relationship between parental BAP traits and proband symptomatology remains poorly understood.
