(PS: I think it may have little to do with 'old' sperm and more with autistic men who may have their children later than nt-men.)


If it's inherited that sure would seem logical

The graph has started to take the shape of a bell (Normal Distribution), with a mean of 28 and a standard deviation of 5.7 Now it would be interesting to compare it to a graph of the age of the father for a group of randomly selected NTs so we could prove or disprove our hypothesis. (and remember, as stated by Johnnie and Starling above, that correlation doesn't imply causality)

...hehehe :D

My dad was 37 when I was born and my mum was 31. I am the youngest child at 22 years of age. My eldest brother who is 29 seems a little aspie-ish. That makes dad 31 years old when my brother was born.

My parents were 31 and 35 when they had me. My Dad's older.

My dad was 38 when he had me. But he was 42 when he had my brother and my bro's about as NT as they come.
