Real cause of Asperger Syndrome
If you say that you’ve discovered the cause of something through research, you are obligated to share that research if you want people to believe you or take you seriously. It’s not picking on you; it’s just how it is.
Otherwise, I could say that my research has proven that we were brought to Earth by aliens, and I would expect you to believe me without evidence.

Of the two people in a hypothetical discussion -- one asserting the claim that "X causes Y", and the other denying that claim -- it is the person asserting the claim who bears the burden of proof.
"I believe it", "I do not want to discuss it with non-believers", and "Prove me wrong" are neither proof nor a defenses of the asserted claim.
Under both anecdotal and scientific scrutiny, I doubt very much that it can be "proven" that being under a certain astrological sign creates a predisposition towards acquiring an autism spectrum disorder.
For the most part, under the present definition, a person is born either with autism, or a predisposition towards acquiring autism under some sort of environmental stress which occurs during infancy.

Until he enlightens us with the supposed evidence of his new discovery, logical people will have no choice but to dismiss his claims.

I have some reason to believe my father might have been on the spectrum. In fact he might have found that drinking improved his ability to connect with people and that's how he became alcoholic while I was a pre-schooler.
Other more distant family members might have been on the spectrum too.
My mom had hepatitis during her pregnancy. I was born three weeks early. But she was only 20 when I was born, and my dad was 24.
Thus most of the OP's claims do NOT apply to me and like others here have pointed out, star signs don't count at all when it comes to determining the causes of autism or Asperger's.

My mom had a normal pregnancy and took no medications.
Autism runs in my family. 4 of us, that I know of, are diagnosed, and I suspect others have it.
My mom, my son, and my nephew are all diagnosed.

Weird circumstances in this thread ….. So my concepts of Astrology , is merely coincidental to my life .
But when some some things like the tides of the Ocean rising , Under Lunar influence . And the observation
Of how subtle that influence is to the entirety of the Ocean. Have to wonder what other Subtlies Planetery
influences might generate with their far off Magnetic fields.. then the old adage about so much if the earths surface being covered in water .And onto humans being 75% water , I have read . Does give me pause to think on these things .

Of EM and gravity, EM is the stronger of the two by a factor of about 10^42 (the number 10 followed by 42 zeros), for without the EM force, Earth and everything on it would collapse into a singularity.
Both EM and gravity are affected by the same inverse-square law, which states that a spherical force will decrease in strength by a factor of 1/d^2 -- the reciprocal of the square of the distance travelled. Thus, a 1G force 6000km from its source would be only 0.25G at 12000km from its source.
Now imagine the same force originating from only 41,343,392,165,178.096 kilometers away* (do the maths), and you will immediately understand why any force from even the nearest star outside our solar system has far less effect on Earth's inhabitants than the planet under our own two feet.
If there is truly another force that enables the positions of far-off planets and stars to influence our fates (and cause autism), science has yet to discover it -- just believing it exists does not make it so.
(*This is the distance from our solar system to the AB Centauri system, 4.37 light-years away)
Okay, I did the maths myself. The force of gravity from an Earth-like world 4.37 light-years away is about 2.1^-20 times 1G, or about 0.000,000,000,000,000,000,002,11G at the surface of the Earth. That's 2.11 sextillionth of 1G. The magnitude of an imaginary force from the same distance would simply be zero.
Even the obstetrician who delivers the child turns out to have about six times the gravitational pull of Mars and about two thousand billion times its tidal force. The doctor may have a lot less mass than the "Red Planet", but he or she is a lot closer to the baby!
Religion is built on faith.
Science is built on evidence.
You can’t make a scientific claim and rely on faith or beliefs. You need to provide evidence if you want to be taken seriously.
(I just wanted to put this out there. Combining faith and/or unfounded beliefs with supposed science is a recipe for quackery.)
