Aspies and infants

Post Reply New Topic

I work with babies all day and I'm trying to find another job it just isnt for me and I'm in the way all the time cause I dont know how to talk to them I can tell the other women who work there dont like me lol

One reason my mother will never be a grandmother is her attitude to babies. To her, babies were just larvae until they developed speech, which she expected to happen without "baby talk" to encourage learning. Infant care was an unpleasant chore, to be handled as efficiently as possible. I don't consider this normal or healthy. It wasn't even very logical.

When I see a human baby, my brains signal they are disgusting, something to stay afar from. And the crying sound is too much for my hearing and inflicts too strong emotions in me, feels like I need to cry too. I don't really want babies close to me.
