No, autism has absolutely nothing to do with the decisions that a mother made during birth. Autism is a neurological condition so is a result of development in the womb during the second trimester. Autism is strongly linked with various genetic factors so whether or not a child is Autistic is most likely due to genetics from both parents (although stronger link with the father).
