Actually many studies show linkages between advanced paternal ages and ADHD, autism and schizophrenia.

Right, which they do by combing through existing records and looking for correlation. Covered that.

I didn't say nothing could ever be done or studied, I said controlled experiments are very difficult on multiple levels and they're often leaning on data from other sources. That leaves gaps in what can be studied, but paternal age isn't one of those in many places.
