I'm not sure if that's entirely true, because my Dad was only 18 when he got my Mum (Who was 21) pregnant with me and I still have a disorder.
I'm not saying it IS true (the older the father, the higher the chance of autism), but IF it is, that doesn't mean there can't be younger men also fathering autistic kids. It seems to be hereditary too, so it'd be possible at any age.
I think the idea isn't that you have to have an older father to produce an autistic child, but rather that the older the father is, the higher the chance the child will be autistic.

You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits
What would these results mean? Been told here I must be a "half pint".
