My children's Father was 38 yrs. old when my youngest was born. I have read various articles regarding schizophrenia/ autism links to the age of the Father.My daughter has a questionable psychiatric diagnosis, along with a "High Functioning" Autistic dx of P.D.D./ it might be interesting to note here, that my daughter was treated for "possible" psychiatric bipolar disorder at age 11-17 yrs; before the P.D.D. dx that she received at age 17.5 years old.<BR/><BR/>Treating autistic children's behaviors with psychiatric medications is a controversial topic in iteself, and worth looking into further.<BR/><BR/>I am including a link to an article from 2002 that could be of further interest:<BR/><BR/>http://info.med.yale.edu/chldstdy/plomdevelop/genetics/02novgen.htm<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>From the article:<BR/><BR/>"Future research should include longer-term studies of atypical antipsychotics to gather longitudinal efficacy and safety data."soulful sepulcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271584927611299868noreply@blogger.com
