I just read an article earlier today that is saying they are looking into whether it could be linked to maternal diabetes. So many theories, but of course if you take the money away from science, those roads won't be walked.

It’s not - correlation does not equal causation. It’s genetic but people don’t like that answer. They want to blame something for me and my autistic kids merely existing.
Also, even if they do find a cause that is NOT genetic, it would only be a parent's fault IF they knew and made a deliberate choice to put the fetus at risk like we are seeing with measles. I would never blame a parent for their child's autism. I happen to be on the spectrum.
Gestational diabetes would not be blaming anyone other than genetics on the whole. Most people with gestational diabetes don't have it when they aren't pregnant, or that is my understanding. I really don't think that they have definitively found what causes it but it probably involves genetics.
