Aspies having Children?

Post Reply New Topic

Would you rather have an Aspie-child(OMG It's the Alien child from mars!) or a boring old NT child? I'd go for Aspie. Soon we sha'll take over the world with my 12 off spring, and make everyone bow down to the way of the Aspie... No seriously. which one?

Neither. I don't want kids... Ever.

why?

Because. I don't want to waste my time on stupid children.

Ahh. I see how that could be...hindering. lol.

I just think there's more important things in life than having sex and making babies.

Well some woman actually don't feel complete until they have children. We are bilogically triggered to do it. /sigh.

I want my offspring to be my clones. Anything else is unacceptable.

Thats creepy. As is your avatar. ...*looks weirded out*

I had a kid in The Sims(PC), but that evil woman took her away!

i've got both an aspie and an nt-kid, and i love both.
i think my nt-kid is the best AS-understander in the world,
maybe fortunately for her she also has an nt-father. (he is a great father, a wonderful man, but also an incredible AS-communication disturber, i hope it learns our aspie how to deal with the world)

FYI, my avatar is of a mostly silent film actor, Conrad Veidt(rhymes with fight). In this shot he's playing the character of Gwynplaine from the 1928 film, "The Man Who Laughs", about a man who's unintended plastic surgery keeps his face in a perpetual smile. Go ahead and look him up, I won't bore you with anymore anecdotal information. Now no one has to question me of my avatar.

I'd rather have neuro-typical children. I wouldn't want the same trials and tribulations i went through placed on themselves.

I'd love to have children. The more the better. I'm sad that I don't have any now. And, I guess, if they turned out to be auties or aspies, that'd be fine with me; I'd try to accept them for who they are and help them find their own way in life. I think this would be one of the greatest rewards of being a mother - being able to give my children what I didn't have myself as a child, and make sure that at least *they* get to make their own choices and don't feel guilty and upset about being who they are.

But there's one thing that makes me scared - that, if a child of mine happens to be on the more severe side of the spectrum, I will have to put them through something like ABA to make sure they adjust. I don't think I'd be able to do that.

I don't care either way. I know that my kid would most likely be on the Spectrum, due to the level of my AS.

I don't want to have children who will suffer. It isn't so much the AS. I am more concerned about the medications I am taking for other conditions harming my child.
