My son has ASD and was breastfed for almost 3 years, as were both his  
sisters, neither of whom have it.  I had a paper on breastfeeding and  
autism, but it is lost on my old computer.  I will try to hunt it down  
for you.  Basically it stated (if my memory serves) that breastfeeding  
seems to mitigate some of the symptoms, so the child will still be  
autistic, but not so bad.  The statistics also state that if you have  
one child with autism you have a much greater chance that a second one  
will have it, so it is possible her daughter will get it.  Although  
girls seem to get it less than boys.  So far my second son who is 2  
shows no signs, and he been EBM fed from birth, so from my very small  
sample, it isn't the milk that does it.  As he is missing some of the  
interactions that feeding gives.
