Although the chance of autism might increase with the age of the parents it is still rare even among the older parents, esp if it is only an older male. It’s not as though autism and chizophrenia is a common outcome among older parents just increased odds. When I say a man should wait to have kids until after 30, I’m thinking more like 30s, 40s and 50s age man which should be fine for having healthy children.
Like I told Fiiechy, I suggest a man have children at 30s, 40s and 50s which should give enough time to see grand and great grandchildren if you have a healthy life. I use 70 as an extreme example and not ideal. I agree on importance of grandparents.
It’s advice a young man can take or leave but I think it’s the right choice in my heart. It’s not a judgment of character but a fact that humanity would benefit from parents that are more mature, have money, and lived life.
My parents had me in their early 20s but I don’t think it was the best choice and they could have benefited by getting educated and maturing. 31 yr dad like you is far better than 21. As I told others, 30s, 40s and 50s should give enough time to see grand and great grandchildren if you have a healthy life. You can’t tell me that a 19 or 20 year old guy with no money or education is better suited to be father than a 36 year old father with a career, home, saving, etc.
