Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fathers over the age of 40 have been shown to have a higher risk of having a child with autism compared to fathers who are under the age of 30. There is no evidence to suggest that cocaine or alcohol use by the father at the time of conception or fathers under the age of 20 are linked to autism.
