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 all!

    my son was born with no trauma at all,he was normal weight everything was great until his first feed he couldn't suck from birth ! he lost alot of weight after the first few days after birth but eventually he did start sucking the bottle and no one seemed to pick up on it and i was told everything was fine! i knew something was wrong though it wasn't til he wasn't sitting up at a year that it became apparent there was something wrong and he has been diagnosed with autism he doing great now though he has just started talking hes nearly five now :) its an interesting topic though!
