  • This autism theory is simply wrong. It doesn't have the spectrum of history, culture or population breadth to "explain" his "finding". It's like saying "I surveyed 100 of my acquaintances and 60 of them said they liked me more than Tom Cruise."

  • this is stupid! all people regaurdless of their age might have a risk for low iq or autium or whatever its called if one party has it then it can easily transfer to the child! ther supose to be educated? WHATEVER

  • Very interesting. I wonder if its also that (if autism is genetic) men with autistic or apsergers qualities (and women too maybe) take longer to start their families, maybe because they are interested in their interests or other things first, or the difficulty with social interaction, or different priorities?

  • Enough with this "Old Man" theory! It's really silly. So please stop embarrasing yourself.
