Is autism inherited?

My husband mum has 2 relatives with diagnosed autism, one of them is my hub cousin, another is a more distant relative. Is it a cause for concern? My first born is thankfully alright (very thankful for that) but I’m thinking if I should even now try for a 2nd one. Is there any genetic testing available?

There is a genetic link for autism, so you can say it can be inherited. There is also some genetic testing available for it, however, I am not sure if it is done in Singapore.
