I've heard that older fathers = raised chance of autism in child
I read about that study also, but consider the elephant in the room, that older fathers tend to have older wives.
Stripping one variable from the other to do a study would be difficult.
Even if it were done, any scientist that attempted it could face losing their funding as it would require them to find older guys with younger wives, a no-no in fem-centric academia, and then the conclusion better not be that a younger wife mitigates the risks greatly, or their careers would also be in jeopardy.
There's more to these things than meets the eye.
