My mum was 26 and my dad was 29.

I thought older parents increased the risk of Down's Syndrome.

I think that the link of older parental age to autism is a bunch of hooey.

When I was born, my father was 44 and my mother was 25.

I am planning on doing my thesis concerning the relationship between parental age, whether or not autism spectrum disorders were diagnosed in any non-step family members other than the child, and whether or not the child is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.
