Can stress and crying cause autism?

Question

I’m currently pregnant and 29 weeks. It’s been a hard couple of weeks and even before then I would cry and stress about small things, but now her dad left me and it’s been almost 2 weeks. I’ve stopped crying and I feel more relief but now I’m worried if this will cause developmental delays or autism? 
My family swears that my little brother is autistic because my mom had a very traumatic pregnancy..

Answer

No. Correlation is not causation and it’s wild to link autism to a stressful pregnancy.

Answer

I don't believe so..
But be mindful momma that what you feel baby does too..
Distract yourself
Go out 
Do what makes u happy through the pain
Give ur baby a happy healthy pregnancy 
Blessings your way 🙌

Answer

Nobody knows what causes it my son is on the spectrum my pregnancy was stressful but I also loaded him up with vaccines who knows people say no that's not the reason but truly no body knows is the answer 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

To add to my comment your family is wrong their is various causes of autism and that’s not one of them . The risk of autism is associated with several prenatal risk factors, including advanced age in either parent, diabetes, bleeding, and use of psychiatric drugs in the mother during pregnancy. 
Autism has been linked to birth defect agents acting during the first eight weeks from conception, though these cases are rare. autoimmune conditions in the mother have been associated with autism in her child, too: All either induce inflammation or impair immune signaling in other ways. It’s important to remember that an association is not the same thing as a cause. 
Antiepileptic Drugs
Some common antiepileptic drugs, particularly valproate (sold under the brand names Depakene and Depakote), have been shown to increase the risk of autism when taken by the childbearing parent during pregnancy. Valproate, in particular, may raise the risk by as much as 10%.
Older Parents
Quite a few large studies suggest that older parents are significantly more likely to have children with autism.2 There is some evidence to suggest that this phenomenon is more likely when the male genetic parent is older, though there is some evidence that the age of the childbearing parent is a factor, as well.
It may be helpful to discuss this issue with a doctor if it relates to your situation.
Preterm Birth
A number of studies have found a correlation between preterm birth and autism, as well as other developmental disorders.3 About 7% of children born preterm have autism, compared with 1%–2% of children in the general population.
A related risk is low birth weight. While there is no way to completely eliminate the risk of early delivery, it is possible to lower that risk. Speak with your doctor if you are at increased risk of delivering early.
