We've only had reliable contraception since the 60s, condoms were used from the 16th century, but latex ones date from the 1920s. women used to bear children at all ages. I think the fashion of having your first child later in life will only account for a small percentage of the additional cases of autism.

I think you are certainly right that we should stop exerting pressure on ladies not to bear children in their 20s. I got pregnant at 28, and I had it so instilled in me that kids would ruin my life that I booked an abortion on the spot. I then thought about it, I had been to university, I owned my flat, I had a career, I really couldn't have been more ready. I cancelled the abortion. My girl and boy are now 26, I was carrying the gift of twins! : )
