You can''t make a blanket statement that older paternal age is the common denominator. My husband was 23 when our twins were born prematurely. I have many friends whose children have autism and who are, like my husband and I, in their late 20''s or very early 30''s.
Just because your children do not fit the criteria of being low birth weight or premature does not mean that this study is ***. They are not suggesting that EVERY child with autism has low birth weight or was premature. What they are suggesting is that there are SOME children who have been diagnosed with Autism who fit these criterion.
My twins just turned 7. They were born at 27 weeks (yes, 13 weeks early) and weighed less than 3 pounds each. Not until this year was one of them diagnosed with Aspergers. I suspected that it may have been due to his prematurity, but had never seen any data to back that up. My twins did not have vaccines at the normal times. In fact, they didn''t have their first vaccine until well after 8 months of age. And I was pro-active in making sure that the vaccines they got at that time were mercury-free.
This study does not negate your childrens diagnosis. You know by now that there is no "textbook case" of Autism and for many parents, there is no rhyme or reason as to why their child has it. Just because your children were born full-term and at a normal weight and still received a Dx does not mean that there won''t be a child (or children) who won''t be Dx because they were a preemie, or had a low birth weight.

In my opinion, the low birth weight newborns are just receiving too high of vaccine doses for their weight. The premature newborns are receiving vaccines too early. We are poisoning our children with toxic chemicals- first mercury, which has been taken out of many vaccines, and aluminum among other chemicals. Aluminum toxicity causes Alzheimer''s like symptoms as well as quite a few other symptoms. With all the vaccines given by 12 months, the toxicity level increases over time causing the crash into autism around 18 months. If it had something to do with age or genetics, why is it autism doesn''t show up right away?
Every newborn is given Hepatitis B vaccine within 12 hours of birth. This vaccines contains 0.25 milligram of Aluminum per dose. As per CDC schedule ( updated as of March 2008), the dose is not reduced if the newborn is pre-mature or has very low birth weight.
It is possible that some susceptible infants, who also happen to be pre-term or of low birth weight, suffer harm due to the full dose of hepatitis vaccine given within 12 hours of birth, as is shown in this study.
Hepatitis infection can only occur at the time of delivery due to birth trauma if the mother is positive for hepatitis B. Unfortunately the CDC, rather than testing the mothers for hepatitis B before delivery and advising vaccination to only those newborns who are at risk, requires that every newborn be vaccinated.
The risk of hepatitis B is now 1.6 in 100,000. Why are we continuing to vaccinate every newborn with hepatitis B vaccine (containing Aluminum) when the majority of them have absolutely no risk of getting this infection at birth.
The vast majority of autistic children today were born on time, a healthy birth weight and reaching milestones, until a barrage of vaccinations flipped the switch in their brains. Kids lost speech, interest in their families and peers and developed odd behaviors long after they were born. But I do agree there is a genetic pre-disposition, the mitocondrial defect, in which environmental assault can attack the brain and bring on the autism-like symptoms.
Many things have been evaluated, but it''s possible to associate Physical Therapy Rehabilitation with HBOT, cause the preterms factors and weight, are not well substained. Besides Autism is more associated to other conditions like Attention Deficit Disorders, Schizophrenia and others. Those brain may be damaged and oxigen can help his regeneration.
Well, this is news to me. My two with Autism were large, healthy babies and my smallest daughter does not have it. 565 children is not enough to qualify in my mind as a broad enough study to declare anything. If one in 150 children are susceptible to Autism, this scope is way too small.
We get the picture. We know it''s a genetic and hereditary disease but the studies need to be larger and for more time. I''d rather hear about a large, ongoing study to compare birth weight and Autism and wait for findings that a few forms filled out and the data released.

My son weighed 10 lbs 3 oz and was not premature.
