(((((((( teejai )))))))))) That is a very interesting article, I admit that I didn't read the whole thing, due to not feeling well so I dont know if it mentions fathers that are very young when the child is conceived. I cant help but wonder if very young parents have similar risks with such things.

Quote:
Compared with offspring of parents aged 25–29 years, the prevalence of poor social functioning was increased both in offspring of fathers younger than 20 years (odds ratio [OR] = 1.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.08–1.49) and in offspring of fathers 45 years old (OR = 1.52, 95% CI = 1.43–1.61). Male adolescent children of mothers aged 40 years and above were 1.15 (95% CI = 1.07–1.24) times more likely to have poor social functioning. Conclusions: These modest associations between parental age and poor social functioning in the general population parallel the associations between parental age and risk for schizophrenia and autism
