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 should be pleased to discuss this important topic.  I think you might like to add into your curiosity an allowance for how someone processes the birth trauma.  People don't all process traumas in the same way.  Once person may have lifelong effects of a trauma, whilst another may have no lingering results at all, from the same trauma.  It is normally a question of what emotions they attach to the event.

    Those I meet on the spectrum have normally experienced a birth trauma, one at a very young age, parental separation or stress.  So I am very curious as to where this might lead us.
