Is Autism linked to Birth Trauma?

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

  • Thank you for your comments.

    As I said, Im new to autism so I just trying to look at all factors that could contribute and I am really interested in diverse opinions.

    I have an enquiring mind and find the whole subject fascinating; I also want to get to know others with autism because as a mum who watches her son struggle every day, its comforting to know that someone out there understands. Up to now, I have been completely alone and 30 years of ignorance and judgemental attitudes takes it toll.

    Its easy for me to say that I am looking for answers on how best to support my son but I know that autism is specific to the individual so one size does not fit all.

    I know that kalojaro was responding to autismtwo but I just felt that their disagreement may have been caused by my comments and I really didnt want to offend anyone. I just love debating and listening to all sides before making my own mind up.

    Many thanks again.
