[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I understand your concern. I have a much-older husband and two little boys. Was especially concerned about the second, who has gone on to have some speech issues and is moody as a 13 year-old girl sometimes, but no autism. Everyone is right. Worrying won't change his outcome, though early intervention will (and I know you will keep checking on him, so no worries there). FWIW, one study I read said that the father's age was an issue BUT only if the Mom was under 30. Very weird, but true. Found it: [b]"The study by the UC Davis Health System found that advanced paternal age is associated with elevated autism risk only when the father is older and the mother is under 30."[/b] So there you go, hope that helps![/quote] NP here-- That's good to know! (We are loosely planning on one more in a couple of years, when DH will be about 46-47.)[/quote]
