Yes. Also mice exposed to valproic acid show autistic traits. And people with Fragile X (a painful and debilitating condition) are often autistic. Plus, exposure to toxins in utero greatly increases risk of autism.

Do we not start to note that the common denominator may actually be trauma-related?

Whether that is exposing the body to irritants, or birth injuries (60% of autistics suffered birth trauma/injury as compared to 0.6% of the general population). Or other factors.
