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

  • i believe it is, from my sons birth. he got stuck, he was starved of oxygen and the midwifes were very worried. it was awful. he had shoulder problems from birth as they had to yank him out. he got a flat head on one side, still like it to this day but luckily only cosmetic. i have 4 children, he is my 2nd baby. the other 3 were all brilliant fast normal natural births. from birth he had nothing but problems.
