My youngest is autistic. I had him at that unfortunate time when people blamed the MMR jab for causing autism. I went ahead with the jabs because I'd been a victim of measles myself ( I got a squinty eye) :eek:

for what it's wort, I don't think age contributes to having an autistic child

Are you still here FC, I am curious and just have a question for you.

If it is not too personal (please ignore if it is) how old were you when you became a dad?

I was in my late 30s when he was born. I know of plenty of contemporaries who had no such problems, even when fathering kids in their 40s (and even in one case his 60s) so there's no need to be unnecessarily alarmed.

That "MMR causing autism" stuff is utter bollox so no need to worry. That's deep in the "potatoes cause earthquakes" realm of quackery!

Quite so!

There is apparently a slight increase in risk as men age, but not massively so.

It's more like if a child has a problem you're tempted to look for a "just so" story to figure out how they got that way, even if it doesn't make sense to others.

I know it wont help, but 'mother nature' She works in strange ways, but I bet your offspring are lovely. We are all different in different ways. Just because society says one thing is normal, does not mean it is right. IYKWIM. k, I best go to bed, and i hope what I have put hasnt upset you.
