Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that advanced paternal age increases the risk of autism in children?

Yes. A 27-study meta-analysis reports that a 10-year increase in paternal age is associated with about a 21% higher risk of autism, and several reviews and population studies likewise report an association between advanced paternal age and autism risk.
