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 Susie

    someone posted me a link to some research about birth trauma and links to autism. Its in the main forum so have a look, its really eye opening.

    My son suffered from oxygen starvation at birth and he fits every criteria on the list of birth trauma factors so it could be a link.

    Like most, I dont believe that there is one cause for autism but as I love and value my son for who he is, the cause is not really what Im searching for; I really want to look at all factors to try to broaden my understanding of autism.

    Interestingly, I cant find anyone in my family who have signs of autism.

    Thanks again for your comments.

    Hi 
    Could you please sent me link to this article or research? 
    I had a traumatic birth. Forceps delivery, heart rate dropped, 7-8 weeks premature. None of the doctors wanted to do his mri scan to check if he has any brain injury at the time ( from my point of view it's very poorly of them ) .
    Also his young constantly was sticking out which could be a reason for his brain injury after traumatic birth. When I asked for mri for him no one wants to help me with it. It's now 10 years he is diagnosed with moderate to severe autism.
