[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is considered an "older parent?" 30? 35? 40? [/quote] and does it matter whether its the mother or father that's "older"? [/quote] Read the science. https://www.spectrumnews.org/news/link-parental-age-autism-explained/ [/quote] "Even so, the absolute chance of having a child with autism is low even for the oldest parents. The researchers in the 2017 study calculated that about 1.5 percent of children born to parents in their 20s will have autism, compared with about 1.58 percent of children born to parents in their 40s." In other words, age is not much of a factor and should not deter people over 40 or 45 from having children. [/quote]
