No, there is currently no prenatal screening for autism.
There is research being carried out to determine autism while the baby is within the womb, however many within the autism community are concerned that this will lead to abortion of autistic children, which in turn has knock-on effects on autistic rights.

∙ 8y agoNo, it is not possible for autism to develop after birth.
Autism is a neurological difference, our brains are different to that of neurotypical people, and as such we are born Autistic. It's not possible for autism to develop after we're born or later in life, although regression is normal in Autistic babies around 18 months old so some people believe that babies can become Autistic after vaccination around the same time - this is a totally debunked theory.
