Is Autism linked to Birth Trauma?

Aspie Mum

Hi, Im trying to do some research around birth trauma and autism. I have asked professionals and they just seem to frown and not really know whether there is a link or not. I would be really grateful for any thoughts or personal experiences as I believe that there may be a link somewhere.

Many thanks

  • Hi - we all look for an answer.  I think the genetic link seems to hold true.  Other things - I don't know.  It's like a lot of things about autism - everyone's got a theory or part of a theory.  Did this cause it?  Did I cause it?  Will this cure it?  Will that help?   I don't know if there info on here via the home pg about birth trauma/autism or on some other part of the internet.  I'm sure some women will tell you they had a traumatic birth + I can understand them wondering if that caused their child's autism.  Some women also wonder of a stressful pregnancy caused it.  So many many theories, many unproven but unable to be discounted.
