No, as far as we know there are no environmental factors that lead to autism - autism isn't 'triggered' it is a neurological variation. This however does not stop people using autism to try to support their agenda, for example some people claim vaccines, GMO's or pesticides cause autism.

Is Autism recessive?
At this point, no one can say for certain that autism is even a genetic trait, as the causes are not fully known or understood. There are certainly some genetic factors that seem to play into whether someone will develop autism, but it isn't as simple as dominant/recessive genes. Environmental factors, diet, vaccines, and other variables have also been suspected as autism causes or triggers. If it were strictly a genetic disorder, it would be a recessive trait. If it were dominant, the number of people with autism would be much greater. The logic behind that is probably beyond the scope of this question.
What is Autism awareness?
Autism awareness is simply making people aware of autism and Autistic people. Unfortunately organizations such as Autism Speaks uses autism awareness to speak negatively about autism and Autistic people to increase their profits, thus there remains a lot of ignorance about autism.
