No autism is not related to eczema and Asthma. Eczema and asthma are related to each other, but they are not connected to autism in any way.
However, autism does appear to be more common in families with a history of atopy; that is, eczema, asthma and other Allergies.
There is significant evidence to suggest that autism is possibly an inflammatory genetic condition, the development of which is enhanced (or improved) by environmental factors such as diet, and exposure to various environmental toxins and irritants, and various poisons.
Autism has a strong genetic component - 90% of paired identical twins will both have autism. However, 10% won't, indicating that environmental factors are clearly at play.
