A head trauma can certainly cause AS, by damaging one half of the brain and affection the proficiency of the other. I don't know what the odds are for the impact causing your AS, but it may be a contributing factor. I would do some research, and while you're at it, research your family tree. If you have relatives with AS or Autism, then it's most likely hereditary.
I'm not a professional however. Is there anyone here who knows more about the subject?
It sounds like you're just making that up. How can physical trauma to the brain affect the wiring of neurons? It can't. Moreover, most people hit their head now and again, that's life. And finally, there are many people with brain injuries whose side effects don't resemble AS in the slightest.
Actually, if the trauma occurs when the child is little enough and before the wiring of the brain is completed, it could force the brain to make connections that it might not have made before due to the damage. So, the hard wiring would then be altered. It's hard to say if this would be actual autism or just mimic autism, but since we don't really know that much about autism, who's to say?
