Who else has Autism and, given the statistical correlation of late childbearing and autism, how old was your mother at the time?

I don't know if I have autism and seriously I don't care. I like my current life.

Isn’t paternal age also a big factor?


Not autistic. Mother was 31. Dad was 39.

No/30 Not to nitpick (which means I'm about to nitpick), the age brackets overlap.  Should be 25-29, 30-34, etc...Since Mom was thirty, I had the choice of two brackets.  I chose the younger.

Paternal age is actually more significant.

me: maybe somewhat on the spectrum, both parents were 34.

My mom was 34 when she had my youngest brother, who is severely autistic and lives in a group home  nearby. My dad was 44. My brother isn’t autistic in the sense he’s awkward. He cannot converse, nor can he take care of himself in any conceivable way. He’s having some severe behavioral problems lately but the last ten years he’s been tantrum/violence free.

Yes, it is. Simpler to just ask one parent's age though, or we might have people say "I don't know who my dad is." and things immediately get awkward.

No, and she was 32 at the time. However, I have been diagnosed with Non-Verbal Learning Disorder and very mild ADHD.

Not autistic. My father was 33 and my mother 27.

I have to admit, I actually wasn't aware there is a link between autism risk and parents' age.

I am autistic, my mom was 20 and my dad was 18. Also suffer from other psychiatric disorders, eating disorders and ADHD. My brother of 8 seems to have ADHD and possibly autism as well, so it's in my dad's genes, who suffered from depression at the same age as me, and my mom is a sociopath. She abused me as a child.

It seems to me that people become sociopaths when interacting with austistics, and that parents who wouldn’t otherwise become abusive when they have an autistic child.

I mean even without knowing that the person they’re interacting with/their kid is autistic.
