What is going on with kids these days. Seems like there are more autistic kids than normal kids.

[No..Money..Mo..Problems]

Just visited my parents for the first time in years and I just saw my little brother and sister who are 4 and 3 and both of them are autistic. Neither of them can speak and there attention span is not that good. This seems to be an epidemic among kids these day. I don't know what is going on but the future doesn't look to bright for the next generation.

Over diagnosed. Folks are too polite to simply call people stupid or dumb. No disrespect, but those kids might be imbeciles, or perhaps your parents suck at child development.

How old was your mother when she had them? After a certain age, a woman may still be capable of having children but they run the risk of having birth defects.

But then again maybe they're just late bloomers and were simply misdiagnosed?

There's 6 of us. 4 of us are healthy adults living on are own and than my little bro and sis. My pops is chill as hell but my moms kinda lost it a few years back. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. What scares me is that she want's another kid.

early 40's. I don't think there late bloomers or misdiagnosed. It's pretty obvious by there behavior and lack of engagement that there not like other kids.

Then its probably because your mom had them pretty late, early 40's is damn near menopausal. I'm sure they'll be alright, though.

Autism is linked to the father's age. Not the mother's. Older men are more likely to have children with autism and schizophrenia.

@No..Money..Mo..Problems It's because men are having children later.

"It's very likely that the rise in the mean age of fathers has made some contribution to the apparent epidemic of autism in our society," said Kari Stefansson, chief executive officer of deCODE Genetics in Iceland and lead author of the study.http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444812704577605282821235136.html

Men think that because they continue to make sperm forever that it's ok to have kids whenever but the older the father is the more mutations he passes on to his children.

A 20-year-old father transmitted on average 25 mutations to his child, while 40-year-old fathers, the oldest in the study, transmitted around 65.
