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

    Maybe it is not just one primary factorial cause, I had a trauma birth, I just add it to the list of possible causes of condition, because it was a condition at my birth.

    Were you born in a hospital?

    What day were you born on?

    And in what month?

    Was there a midwife present?

    And, if so, what color socks were they wearing?

    What did you mother have for breakfast that day?

    Was your father present at the birth?

    Did he sport a natty moustache?

    Whatever you answers to these questions are any of those also possible causes for your autism?

    I think not.

    Or is it, in fact, still the case that correlation does not imply causality?

    I think it might be.
