Having children

Post Reply New Topic

Eminently possible with the support and l*ve of a partner.

I haven't had a lot of love or support fr partner yet I have 4 children and get great reviews fr all who see us

Two are aspies as I two are not yet not typical either!

I do pretty well and greatful for all that I can do not just in spite of aspiness also fr heightened awareness I experience as aspie I understand children and the experiences I had as a child are vivid and serve to tenderness and understanding as a parent
I didn't know anything of as when I had first child so never thought to question Glad I didn't!

I have two wonderful children whose custody I share with their father. It's difficult but not impossible (and I probably just have a more difficult time with it than other people on here). It's definitely possible and rewarding in ways you could never imagine before you have them. Mine seem to be NT so far (littler one may turn out to have "traits").

You do have to commit your life to it, though, and that's the hard part for some people.

While I do want kids, it seems like the people who like the same interests as me don't want kids. And I don't want to have to tell someone they are forbidden from getting an abortion.

My DH is undiagnosed but suspected to have Aspergers. He really fits the AS profile. He is very successful in his career in the military and he has been in for going on 13 years now. We have two children and one on the way. Our oldest has classic ASD but very high functioning. Our youngest is NT. We have been together for 8 years and married going on 6 years now.
Parenthood and being married has been the best thing happen in my DH's life (he says). Growing up he was socially awkward (and still) but he recognizes it and wants to improve his social skills. He has come a long way since he joined the military which I believe really helped him believe it or not.

I turned down having a child of my own and being a stepfather. I know that it is possible.

Either will not increase your lifespan and just add stress. I f you really want that it's your choice.

I'd sooner join the foreign legion.
