[tri-med] Another DX question

Hey all, I need some opinions, A while back I mentioned trying to get Jake 
dx'ed with autism.  I recently met a few moms from Jakes new school and had 
some more in depth talks about autism, most importantly finding out that Jake 
fits to description almost perfectly (about 70 to 75%) and we could get 
services for him through our insurance easier if he had that official diagnosis.

Now, here's my question....

Can a kid be dx'ed with autism (or in the autism spectrum) if he has the 
symptoms of the disorder stemming from a different origin (i.e. Tri9 and KS).  
I don't even know how to word it properly or where to begin, but any help or 
suggestions would be appreciated!
