Question: Why does advancing paternal age cause sporadic cases of severe autism!?
Answers:
There are not a lot of studies on this issue; however, one study I found suggests that advancing age results in "de novo mutation" and possible alterations in genetic imprinting!.

Interesting question that will likely be the focus of research in the coming years!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

there are many theories but there hasn't been one proven reason!. i think there is a number of combined factors that lead to autism!. advanced paternal age could be A factor not THE factor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No cause has been proved, or even suggested!. Only the correlation has been reported!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
