is it possible to have an autistic personality if you yourself are not autistic?

One of our personalities is autistic. She pretty much only communicates through music. (Nicholeen named her "La" because of this.) We have others who have autistic tendancies, but she's the one who is the most obvious. Like, we know something's different about Sarah, who is three, because all she does is breathe, pretty much (when she surfaces, we look catatonic, but we're not. She seems to notice things, and loud noises scare her). She has the development of an infant, and we've wondered if she's autistic. Katie has tendancies (mostly the head-banging, and her obsessive need to do certain things and think certain things), too, but that could just be the programming...about how she's bad, she has to be punished... It's like she got the single idea in her head, and no matter what, nothing else gets through to her.

But anyway, those are a few of the examples.

Lori loves music, especially techno. She "dances" to it (bobs up and down). While she behaves rather autistic, she's awfully smart and can figure things out on her own. Kami, on the other hand, can't do jack by herself. She has to be led around and fed. She hasn't come out in a long while (I guess because she can't get out by herself)
