Ang, there's not a definite 1:1 correlation, but a lot of kids with autism spectrum issues have hypotonia.

Christen, I think I get where you're coming from. Mine was a train wreck pregnancy and delivery as well. The difference, for us, is that my quirky kid has a thoroughly neurotypical twin-- so I can't realistically blame birth trauma. (Personally, I kind of like to point to her dad <eg>...though reality is that the apple didn't fall far from either tree.)

And Phroggy-- great last paragraph.
