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 Aspie mum

    Been reading posts for some time but this is my first post. Couldn't resist as it is such an interesting subject, i am Mum to an 11 year old aspie.

    My view is that my Son has always been on the spectrum even in the womb. He was breech all the way through my pregnancy and my take on this is that this was the way round he wanted to be and he was comfortable  and nothing could have pursuaded him otherwise, much the same as he is now. He was also 4 weeks early! 

    I therefore believe that difficult births may occur because the baby is  autistic and not the cause of autism.

    It is interesting that eveyone has a different take on this issue.
