Autism prevention is there is key factor involved in non-familial cases?

Autism is not a new disorder, what are the risk factors?

The male biological clock is no joke for the affected children.

Beverly Sills, she married Peter Greenough when he was at least 39 and had three normal children from a prior marriage. Their two children are extremely affected by his older paternal age it seems.
She met Greenough in Cleveland while on a 1955 tour with City Opera. "He winked, which I thought was pretty corny," Ms. Sills told The Christian Science Monitor in 1985, "but it worked." Greenough died last year.

Ms. Sills had three stepchildren from Greenough's previous marriage and two children with her husband: a son, Peter Jr., who is autistic and mentally retarded, and a daughter, Meredith, who suffers from multiple sclerosis and who is deaf.

Recent studies suggest a link between the age of the father at conception and an increased risk for the child having autism. The older the man, the higher risk. Much like the risk of women of advanced maternal age having a child with Down Syndrome.

It is still being studied.
