Age of dads in Poll form

Post Reply New Topic

There have been many topics, one currently, about age of dads and its relation to AS and/or autism. I thought a poll would be a cleaner way of asking the same question.

I was adopted, my dad was 20 and my mom "under 18".

My dad was 32 when I was born.

My dad was 24 when I was born. I was (and still am) 36 when my son was born.

I was also adopted, and my father i think was 37 when i was adopted, but i was also the 3rd child adopted...

Being Normal Is Vastly Overrated

I think my mother was like 31, and my father was like 29.

AGE1600, I meant biological parents at the time of my birth. Adoptive parents don't count with genetics.

my dad was 21 when i was born

My dad was 28.

Both parents were 43...

My dad was 42

Mother was 37 and dad was 50.

My father was 39 when I was born.

My dad was 27, my mom was 21.

my dad was 19..my mom was 25...i think...

I think my dad was about 37ish when I was born, my mom was about 36.

My ex was 24 when our ASD kid was born, and 26 when the NT kid was born.

But there's another set of data that points to the grandmothers of boys on the spectrum, that is their being older when they give birth to daughters who then give birth to (grand)sons on the spectrum.

My grandmother was in her late thirties when she had my mom.

Anyway, no individual case disproves the hypothesis, the scientists just find interesting trends that apply to a significant number of individuals, but not everyone.
