can Zyprexa cause autism in child?

Hello to everyone,
My name is Alex and I live in Montreal, Canada.
My wife (ex wife now) was on zyprexa 2.5Mg for anxiety, we decided to have a child
her doctors suggested not to take zyprexa during the pregnancy but she continued the zyprexa, she had adiificult delivery which resulted in a c-section. My child was late in all the milestones of development.At 4 months my mother noticed a tremor, and we told the pediatrician but he said nothing, at 22 months he had full blown seizures (grand mal) so now he is on frisium and topamax for seizures and they are under control.he was diagnosed with truncal ataxia, epilepsy( because of the seizures)globa developmental delay and  now he  is being diagnosed with autism.
So my question is : is there a relation between Zyprexa and autism while taking it during the entire term of pregnancy.
As anybody exsperienced the same situation or similar??

Hope to hear from you soon
