Objective to analyze prenatal, perinatal, and neonatal risk factors associated with support levels in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Methods: A cross-sectional, quantitative, descriptive, and analytical study using a 58-item questionnaire divided into four sections: child identification, parent details, prenatal factors, and perinatal events. Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 27.0, with normality tests (Shapiro-Wilk and Kolmogorov-Smirnov), Pearson's chi-square for associations, and calculation of Odds Ratio (OR). Variables with p<0.20 were included in binary logistic regression models (p<0.05). Confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated using OpenEpi version 3.01. Results: Continuous variables were described as having a non-normal distribution (p<0.05). Most individuals with ASD were conceived naturally (OR=139, 91.4%; 95% CI: 85.92-94.93). ASD type 3 was associated with paternal age under 36 years and multiple pregnancies, but no variable remained significant in the final regression model. Conclusions: The study highlights the importance of prenatal and perinatal care in understanding the risk factors for ASD and emphasizes the need for further research on family and environmental influences.
