[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And this thread has devolved into exactly what OP was talking about...all focus and anger at older MOTHERS.

Do an AI search of paternal age or maternal age and special needs children and you can see that both increase the risks.  But it also talks about how advances in medicine mean MANY kids of older moms are fine and live healthy lives.

Maternal age AI summary:
Advanced maternal age (typically defined as 35 or older) is associated with an increased risk of having a child with special needs, including Down syndrome, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and intellectual disabilities. While risks for conditions like autism increase by roughly 18% for every five-year increase in maternal age, the overall risk remains relatively small.

NOTE overall risk remains relatively small.

Also mentions that risk is HIGHER in mothers younger than 20, so the PP talking about kids having kids at 15 can go pound sand.

AI summary for paternal age:
Advanced paternal age (generally defined as 40–50+) is associated with an increased risk of having children with neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions, most notably autism and schizophrenia, due to accumulation of de novo genetic mutations in sperm. Studies indicate that men in their 40s or 50s are 2 to 6 times more likely to have a child with autism compared to men under 30, with risks increasing incrementally.

Now everyone go talk about something else.[/quote]

No one said girls at 15 should be having kids. The fact as stated is that most are able biologically to have kids. You can go pound sand for your misinterpretation of a fact. [/quote]

The presentation of that fact was creepy AF.  Stuff it.[/quote]

Sorry you don't like facts. [/quote]
