[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just looked it up for myself. Genetics and parental age play the largest role. 1. Having a close family member with autism. 2. Being an older parent. 3. Having a boy vs having a girl. Boys are 4 times more likely to be diagnosed with autism. 4. Preterm birth. 5. Comorbidities, such as fragile X, Rhett's, tuberous sclerosis.[/quote] Parent of a teen with Aspergers (when diagnosis was still provided). 1. Zero on my side of family, siblings or cousins. DH has 6 cousins on father's side of family. 1 male cousin (no autism) has 2 boys with autism. (We do not live in the same state and I am not related to any of the wives). 2. Both parents aged 36 at the time. 3. boy 4. 2 weeks post-term birth 5. none.[/quote]
