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 Kalojo

    as I have said in my previous posts, I am only trying to understand all aspect and beliefs regarding autism and I value your thoughts equally with scorpion and others.

    Im not too sure of the term damage, I certainly have never used this. Personally I truly value difference and diversity, I find peoples differences facinating but I would never assume a difference is caused by damage unless it is proven.

    In terms of trauma at birth, there does seem to be some evidence that this could contribute to autistim especially if a baby is deprived of oxygen at birth; I think that this is an interesting point but I also know that many people with autism have not had a traumatic birth.

    Like many others, I believe that many factors could contribute to autism, not one single cause.

    Thank you for your comments, everything helps me to learn and understand which in turn will help my son understand that not everything in life that he deals with is his fault as this is what he believes just now.
