Did i cause my childs autism

NAS66123

I have a 4yo girl diagnosed with autism.

I just cant help but think it is my fault that she has autism. When she was a baby and had only just began to roll she accidently rolled off our bed on to a hard floor. 

I feel like this is the reason she may have it as all her blood tests came back as normal.

I have never voiced this concern before as i am so ashamed. I cry about it all the time. I havent said it even to my husband. 

But i worry that maybe i should talk to my childs doctor about it or voice this to a professional. I just dont know how im going to ever say it out loud. But feel like i need to for my daughters sake.

I dont really know what im asking i just hit a low point with it and know i nees help!

  • Dropping a kid on their head does not cause autism in children.

    The only way to blame yourself is by saying "Well I gave birth to my child, so that's why its my fault".

    If it is upsetting you that much talk to your doctor and they should be able to put your mind at rest, and if you really cannot talk to them face to face call the NHS line 111 and talk to them.
