Questions linking Autism to Prematurity

1 Recommendation

Ok so I delivered a beautiful little girl over 4 years ago she was 31w 5d Weighing in at 2lb 12oz. She was in the hospital for almost 6 weeks and then came home weighing 4lb 6oz. There were no major complications in the hospital the the usual preemie things. It has been a rough road since then though. I wont go into details because it is probably just the usual. Here comes my question though she has always been quite difficult to handle moody, cries alot and not very good in social places. Recently she has been Diagnosed with Pdd-Nos, and they believe that she is in the autistic spectrum has anyone else been told this?? I have googled this and Autism can be linked to Prematurity. Or could it just be the Dr. Looking to label her??
