There are no definite known causes of Autism and I don't believe that there is any way to tell if your child will have autism. Here are some additional resources if you would like some more information about autism:

Best you can do is develop healthy habits during pregnancy and provide a healthy, clean environment after birth. And, even then, no promises. There are genes linked to some cases of autism.

There is nothing that causes Autism, it just happens. I know someone who had one child with it and another that was outgoing, ect...

I think it is random, I don't think there is anyway to make sure your child doest have it when he or she is born.

i dont think it is really understood completely.
i know someone is gonna post "ITS THE VACCINES!"
some of the older vaccines use to increase risk very very slightly, but the newer vaccines that are currently in use are safe
