No, premature birth cannot cause Autism.

Autism is a neurological variation, thus an autistic brain is like any other brain: it forms in the womb. Autism is like any other biological variation, it's a result of genetics not premature birth - a child is born Autistic, they are Autistic from as soon as their brain starts to form in the womb.
