Parent age and autism

Post Reply New Topic

If you are diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum, who old were both your parents when you were born?

My mom was 44 and father was 42

With me, my mom was 32 and my dad 33.
With my NT sister, my mom was 39 and my dad 40.

My mom was 38 and my dad was 44 when I was born.

Mother 31, father 35; so the conlusion is - they were too old? Old people shouln'd have children anyway

mother 17, father 18.

father has a number of AS traits

Father was 30, mother was 18

Both were 26. Seems like that's be within anyone's "normal" range.

My mother was twenty, and my father 22 (I think).

They both had non-autistic children (one each, not together) over ten years later. My elder sister is also not autistic, but her son is. She was in her mid-twenties as was her partner (now husband).

My mom was 32 when she had me. My dad was about 34 or 35.

mom was 32, dad was 28

Dad 30, Mom 26. However, Paternal Grandfather was 42. My grandad fought in WWI...but died before I was born.

Both were 38.

Mom 28 Dad 33 a few months after I was born

Now... I think my dad is probably aspie although he's never been diagnosed. He doesn't display the sensory defensiveness that I do, but the mindblindness and lack of social skills (though not nearly to my extent) are there (the lack of empathy is, I think, worse) and also the obsessiveness and focus on routine is worse.

His parents were

Mom 26
Dad 30

And I think HIS dad could have had AS but I never really talked to that guy all that much even though he didn't die until I was 17 and we saw each other every week.

My brother is basically the poster child for neurotypicals. So is my mom.

Mom 33, Dad 38.


M.

well my son has AS, and i was 22 his dad was 25

my parents were 26 and 23 when they had me,
and his dads mom was 34,not too sure about dad, but mid-late 30's as well.

I'm self-diagnosed, so I wanted to disclose that fully before I chimed in.

When I was born, my mother was 37 years old and my father was 56. My father turned 57 a little over two months after my birth.

I was throughout my school years the only child in my class to have a father as a World War II veteran as opposed to an uncle or grandfather with the same status.
