Causes of Autism during Labor and Delivery
There are a number of birth injuries that can cause brain damage that may lead to autism. In the case mentioned above, the birth injury lawyers at Fitzgerald & Fitzgerald argued that failure to diagnose and treat jaundice caused the autism. Newborn jaundice is a condition marked by high levels of bilirubin in the blood. The increased bilirubin causes the infant's skin and eyeballs to look yellow. Oxygen deprivation during pregnancy, labor, delivery, or the postpartum period (hypoxic-ischemia, birth asphyxia, or cerebral anoxia) can also cause brain damage that may result in autism.
Other Causes of Autism – Medical Malpractice and Environmental Toxins
Current medical research supports the following:
Autism can be caused by medical malpractice, including failure to treat, failure to diagnose, inadequate care, and other medical negligence during pregnancy, labor, delivery, or postpartum
Autism can be caused by environmental toxins such as lead paint in apartment buildings built before 1978.
