Brief Answer:
Isolated tick is not a symptom of autism

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome here.
In my opinion, the isolated symptom of tick does not qualifies for autism.
Autism usually has whole spectrum of symptoms including problems in communication and social interaction and oddities of behaviour.

Hope this answers your query.

Thanks.
