There are always exceptions to the rule. :roll:



My opinion on babies is ambivalent. I actually like babies more than small children, but I feel strong aversion against excrements, so diapering would be the strongest argument against babies for me.

What concerns crying: babies can learn to use sign language instead of crying, so when they are thirsty, they make a gesture that imitates drinking and so forth. Would that make babies more attractive for aspies?

I don't like babies all that much either, I find them revolting when they dribble and blow bubbles not too mention the dirty nappy.

I'm sure I'll never have kids and can't stand being around them either. Babies I probably wouldn't mind so much.

I like children, but the noise they make is overwhelming.

Right now there's a baby in the house and I get along pretty well with her.

Babies stare at me a lot I don't know why though.

chlov, do they look intelligent or do they act intelligent? There is a massive difference between the two and I only accept the latter one as an indicator that these people could be intelligent.

I saw them too, and I can say that they act in an intelligent way. They say intelligent things. They have an intelligent behaviour. So yes, I think they actually are intelligent.

The idea that I can team up with a man and make a human being and have it grow inside of my own body is so damn fascinating to me that I can't help but love babies. Though it helps that they have big wide eyes and little button noses!

I don't particularly like other people's babies or children, except for a few, but I love my own, very much. :lol:

I like babies when they are not being terrible. They're pretty cute when not crying or whatnot.

Are people with Autism more inclined to have different views towards babies than NTs?

I personally cannot stand babies. Even looking at them makes me feel sick, but I think that is because I have OCD issues about the contents of their nappies.....let's just say I could NEVER change a nappy (known as a diaper in the US); I would run away screaming. Also they scream/cry, which I cannot cope with due to hypersensitivity.


This year i will marry and my partner and I plan to have babies. So my mother in law also asked question about your thematic, but i do not think, that it will be that hard for me. So sure, you cannot compare a pet with a baby, but if my malecat had an operation and he awakes from the medication, he is afraid, tries to reach his higher spotted hiding places, which he cant because he is still tumbling around and endangers himself with that behaviour. So the only place where he relaxes in that situations is sleeping while cosing me. So normally when he had his tooth operation there is bleeding spit running from his mouth, normally he pukes when he awakes and he doesnt seem to recognize when he has to piss. So i really do not enjoy having him sleeping and cuddling with me in that situations, but i dont freak out either. Its as it is.

Same goes with all the other stuff like puking hairballs on the floor or when he misses the cat toilette and so on... i really, really do not enjoy it, but it is as it is and mourning wont make him aim better next time. ^^

So i dont know if its about my static face or something in the way i look, but i seem to be relaxing to babies. So if i am told to look for a babie, they normally calm down, seem to be fascinated at something of me some minutes and then start to sleep or look around and so on. I think maybe they like that i am not into this focusing on babies and cuddling and endless babytalk but normally i just take them, "pet" them softly with one hand and let them do what they want instead of drawing their attention on me every second. Generally its easier for me to interact with children, because until a certain age, they just tell you what they are thinking, so conversation is pretty easy for me and i dont have to guess all the time, what people really mean.

Is that why you took that cat avatar? That expression is priceless. There's a lolcat pic with caption:

and I don't like them.

I hate babies. More than anything else it's the noise. Baby crying=worst noise ever, it HURTS. I also don't get the "awww isn't he/she cute?". No - he/she looks like an ugly wrinkled potato.

I wouldn't say that I hate them, but I really don't like them and the noise they make is horrible. Even though I really don't seem to like babies as much as other females, for some reason I still feel the instinct to have some. Since both me and my boyfriend were creepily quiet babies, I hope our kids will be too.

There's a few reasons why i am afraid to have a baby, first a watermelon popping out of me after squishing up all my inside organs sends me into anxiety.
Second they've done a still faced study with newborns.
The results are extremely interesting, i'll put a link here for anyone interested.

http://geniusinchildren.org/2012/03/14/ ... parenting/

My partner is a NT who refuses to have a baby herself. Yet my fear is that i won't be able to reciprocate properly back and forth to the baby. And they are a baby for a good 3 years too.
Mainly though, my fear is of labor..
