Autism is from birth, although autism-like symptoms can occur as a result of brain injury and illness etc. It is likely that autism is the result primarily of environmental factors triggering genetics that would not normally cause a problem to result in ASD, or autism spectrum disorder.
Vaccines have been suspected to cause autism for a while, but the evidence for them causing autism is weak.
The actual cause of autism is not yet known, although we do know that some drugs can cause autism when exposed to unborn babies in utero.
One example of this is the anti-convulsant sodium valproate, which is still commonly prescribed to women of childbearing age. Class action lawsuits in various countries (including the UK and USA) are currently underway.

No, autism has absolutely nothing to do with the decisions that a mother made during birth. Autism is a neurological condition so is a result of development in the womb during the second trimester.
