Should I or should I not avoid my autistic son or daughter in law?

Why are you starting all these threads about non-existent children and whether you should accept them or not?
What is your opinion?
Do you think you should accept them?

I'm not saying you shouldn't ask questions, but you seem to be asking the same core question repeatedly.

Should we accept those with ASD?
Yes, we should.

I hope you feel as though you're accepted.

OK, this is getting dumb now.

If you keep having to ask whether you should accept various family members with ASD or whether it's right to control a relative's reproductive decisions or any future child's life, I am more worried about you than them.

Maybe they should be asking us if they should accept you.

I imagine there's a good reason that you're so concerned about the relationships you have or might develop with family members. Maybe you should talk to a counselor or therapist about it. They might be able to refer you to appropriate books about relationships to help you figure these things out for yourself so you don't have to worry about it anymore.

I would have to know both of you very well to venture such an opinion.
