Why are people so bothered about their children's having autism? I never want children for separate reasons, but if I did have one, I'd actively WANT it to have autism, as long as it was the high functioning kind (Asperger's).


Me too. In fact, I was scared when mum kept saying she wanted another baby (she never had one cos of her illness) cos I was scared it would be NT.

Many people should not have children

They choose to have children

You can't stop them

Child protective services can take the children away, if CPS decides

But no involuntary spaying and neutering

The original poster stopped with the original post, and hasn't returned to the thread they started. So I guess two pages of replies to that one post is enough.

You can't wish for your child to have autism. That's a bit like somebody with a genetic physical deformity saying "oh I hope my baby has a physical deformity too". Most parents want their child to be 'normal'.

When your child has a neurological difference such as autism, they are more at risk of social isolation and bullying, and you can't always control that especially when the child gets to high school. Yes I know NT kids can be bullied too, but the risk is higher if the child has an affected social performance because being socially isolated doesn't help either. I just want a child that reaches all his or her milestones on time, doesn't have delays in mixing with other children and doesn't need support at school or anything, no social/intellectual differences, no retardation, nothing that requires a diagnosis or a label. Just a normal child. And having a normal child doesn't mean they will get into drugs as a teenager, just like having an autistic doesn't mean they won't get into drugs. No matter how supportive the parents of an autistic child are, that child could still suffer from depression and low self-esteem from years of bullying from their peers and they could turn to drugs to deal with it or as desperation to fit in.

People in the Deaf community often wish for deaf children.
Some refuse to get cochlear implants for their children because it would make them too different in their culture.

Sabotage all their relationships before they start.

This trolling thread has lived for too long.
