I guess you are right I shouldn't be suprised. I just thought that the press in the UK would pick it up for discussion. I guess I was wrong. Thank you.

Actually, I'm an epidemiologist, and i have read papers concerned the links between paternal age and rates of autism. then again, correlation doesn't equal causation, and golly, it seems everything's being blamed for autism these days.
anyway, if a BMJ article can surface in the US and get read by me, then I'm sure it's not lacking for attention. Andy es, i have seen Yahho!News postings about advanced paternal age and its association with various health outcomes.
did you want me to post a blurb from it? i have access to BMJ from this terminal.

Why are you surprised it hasn't gotten any press?
And if it's already been published in a journal, it's probably already gotten all the attention (from the professional community) that it needs.
