   Autism is genetic, it is either already in the family, or caused by damaged sperm of an older father or maybe sperm damaged by toxins. It is best for you to avoid alcohol. drugs, medications, and eat well. Think good thoughts, enjoy your pregnancy and relax as much as you can. The autism epidemic has been expected by the researchers who know that, at a population level, it increases with paternal age.

   Don’t get any vaccines with mercury in them (flu, the RH factor one) and don’t eat any fish with mercury (tuna, shark, tilefish, swordfish). Best of luck!

   don’t spin any plates or fling any string. And please, no complicated mathematical equations or card counting. You should be just fine.
   Oh, you meant in the baby? No.

   I’d just like to say that I think this is a very good question.

   With no family history of autism or schizophrenia, a father under 35, and if you don’t vaccinate yourself or your baby and have no family history of autoimmune disorders there is little chance of autism. Search Mayer Eisenstein MD and Sherri Tenpenny DO for more information on vaccines.

   I honestly don’t know if autism is caused during gestation.
   I know it is extremely important not only to take prenatal vitamins while pregnant, but also months before you you get pregnant.
   So many birth defects can be prevented with simple vitamins.

   Not that anyone can say for certain. Generally speaking, you should of course take care of your health and don’t worry about things that are not in your control, like genetics. As far as mercury in fish and vaccinations, read up and weigh your risks/benefits. Keep in mind that there are millions of healthy kids out there who have been vaccinated and their mom’s ate fish. There’s still a lot science is still learning about autism. Increased awareness is good, but only as long as it doesn’t cause people to worry unnecessarily!

   It is genetic. At least that’s what the best evidence from scientific studies (without motive) have shown. You can no more prevent autism than you can prevent dumb blondes who make stereotypical statements in a shallow attempt at humor…
