Autism which is a very common neural development’s disorder and is characterized by impaired social interaction, communication and also by restrictive behavior.
This disorder is very common among the children but now a new study has been conducted by analyzing almost 5 million birth rates and it shows that mothers older than 40 are about 50% more likely to have a child with autism as compared to that of a 20 years old woman and for the men the ratio was 36% high while comparing the same age difference. Janie Shelton, the study’s lead author while talking about the study said that “Although fathers’ age can contribute risk, the risk is overwhelmed by maternal age.”
