No, fortunately there is no pre-natal screening for autism.

Some organisations, such as Autism Speaks, are aiming to bring about pre-natal screening in an attempt to stop Autistic people being born. As it is we don't know fully the causes of autism to be able to detect it outside of diagnosis from behaviour.
