Autism: A Disease of the Rich?

I came across an article in The New York Times Opinions Pages titled Autism: A Disease of the Rich?. First off, autism is not a disease. Autism doesn't spread in any way. It is something that people are born with. The article also says that autism is mostly common among children of wealthier families because of paternal age. I don't see how the paternal age effect and wealthy families fit together.
