Okay, can you show me your scientific sources? Or any source really? Because it’s actually the opposite. Older women make more autistic babies due to them abusing birth control and having major hormone imbalances.
Lol, there are in fact an abundance of sources that talk about fathers over 45+. It is also associated with higher risk of miscarriage and still birth.

Older men and women are more likely than young ones to have a child with autism, according to multiple studies published in the past decade. Especially when it comes to fathers, this parental-age effect is one of the most consistent findings in the epidemiology of autism.
The link between parental age and autism, explained
Older men and women are more likely than young ones to have a child with autism, but this connection is not straightforward.
What makes it worse is that older women tend to procreate with older men which increases the odds even more.
The Risks of Becoming a Dad Later in Life
As more men over 40 are becoming dads, a study says older men may be more likely to father children with health woes. But the overall risk of birth problems remains low, an expert says.www.webmd.com
Older fathers associated with increased birth risks
From the data of more than 40 million births, scientists at Stanford have linked paternal age to birth risks, and even risks to the mother’s health.med.stanford.edu
I think its a bit obvious don't you think? A man's sperm quality isn't going to be as great as when he is in his 20s and 30s. But at the end of the day, everything is qadr, a lot of men and women are having children in their 40s. Somali mothers usually have their last kids at around 40 anyways, even the ones that got married really young, as we tend to have big families MashaAllah. Men need to stop shaming older mothers because older fathers tend to have a plethora of issues as well.
Science is advancing, years ago, whenever a couple had fertility issues, people would assume that the woman was the issue, but now we know men can have issues in fact 60% of infertility cases are due to men now.
That is why I specifically said that everything is Qadr. Usually, that line of thinking is used against women. Yet, I know far too many women that have had children between the ages of 40-45 which is pretty late for women.
Wallahi everyone is different and in life we all have our own time frames. What irritates me is people's obsession with things that are ultimately qadr. I know far too many women that are desperate to marry. It is at times a plethora of reasons as to why they're still unmarried. From living in a majority non Somali area, to being introverts, to parents not having a lot of friends so there aren't a lot of people that know them or can ask for their hand, to having bad luck with regards to the quality of men they come across. But ultimately, I tell them the main reason why is because it isn't written for them yet. No matter how much you try, improve yourself ect which are things you should be doing don't get me wrong, but if it isn't written for you yet you're not going to and when it is written for you, no one can stop you. Majority of Muslim women want to marry before 30,so its disheartening when men shame and belittle girls that are still unmarried or who end up marrying late and this conversation is always gendered.
You hit the nail on the head: lower quality sperm.

Not to mention that Upper Paleolithic Europeans were often even more carnivorous (high trophic level) in their diet than Neanderthals who were shown to be clearly high-trophic level carnivores and UP Europeans in general were some of the most robust, large crania possessing humans out there:

Look at how nearly all the humans up there appear even more high-trophic level (carnivorous) in their diet than Neanderthals while Oase-1 is more separated from the herbivorous animals than Canids, Hyenas and Neanderthals are. Whether the explanation is that they ate lots of seafood or even carnivorous animals along with the land mammals or putrefied meat, they didn't get up there through munching on loads of plants, that's for sure. They didn't even find evidence that they were eating much in the way of things like hazelnuts that were readily available:
The same sort of thing goes for Upper Paleolithic Siberian Hunter-Gatherers and HGs in Eastern Europe:

Observe how high they are on average compared to carnivorous animals like Lions and Wolves. And once again these are some of the most robust Humans in the archaeological record as I'm sure you know. Keep in mind as well that Europe/Siberia or no, these are the same Anatomically Modern Humans as you and me, there is no evidence of notable differences in digestive tracts between us and them that we know of.
Even in the Mediterranean's Paleolithic era they find via isotopic data that they ate overwhelmingly animal foods:

Notice how virtually all the human groups, other than some of the Bantus who have iron-age farming cultures, are at a higher trophic level than carnivores. Even our own Savanna Pastoral Neolithic, Cushitic-speaking kin who were known to collect and grind down grains were clearly consuming a crap-ton of animal matter over plants. And notice the right-leaning bias as well, especially among the pre-historic groups:

These studies that say older men are much more likely to have lower sperm qualities and therefore are more likely to have children with Austism ect, are going by a standard in which younger men have a normal healthy diet ect. If that was the case then yes, they do have a point to link older men with birth defects, but going by your informative post it seems younger and younger men now have the sperm quality of a pensioner!
Finally someone with someone with some brains most people in this forum just make baseless claims without evidence and everyone for some reason believes them.
I’ve got some, but some folks be complaining I gossip too much or that I share peoples business although none of them will know who I’m talking about lol.
Did anyone not mention obesity and high sugar content having some connections to autism as well ?
