| I think they are clutching at straws, i am older than Ts dad and was late 20s when i had him and like u Sarah im sure there are many young parents with children who have an ASD.
Genetic is the biggest factor IMO.

| Yep i think they are too. It seems like everyone "knows everything" about autism yet they rarely ask parents of kids with Autism anything.
My hubby is quite a bit older then me though but if age was a factor then how come my Daughter doesnt have any special needs at all. |
