I WILL have kids. If I never procreate, then I'll adopt

Whatever happened to the OP? He used to always post and now he stopped

Nope, never. Might adopt or foster when I'm old enough.

Yes, adopted, not from my own genetics.

I don't care if they have AS/Autism or not. (Is it more likely for a child to have AS if one of their parents have it? Just Curious.)

Yes, if they are from your own genetics, they will more than likely have AS. I got AS from my father, and I do not want my own children from my genetics just for the simple fact that they will have anxiety, depression, and more likely to have diabetes, arthritis, RA, and other autoimmune diseases such as thyroid problems. If Autism was the only disorder I have to deal with then yes, I would take my chances to have children of my own.

Maybe. My willingness to want kids changes. I'm 17, and I can see myself either raising 3 kids or none.
If I can't procreate I'll adopt from China.

don't see why "im a neurotypical" is a poll answer choice.
it's not relevant.

No. I feel like I would be a terrible parent, and I would feel really bad if my child had both of the major issues I do (ASD and connective tissue disorder).

Glad to see I'm not alone with "no" I'm completely terrified of pregnancy, birth and parenting

Yes, I'd like to have the chance to become biologically immortal and continue a 3 billion year old line, although I'm not sure I'd want to raise them in America though, unless this country really starts to turn around. I'm a bit nervous about the prospect though, because of my own genetics, I'm ASD and I'm probably a carrier for Schizophrenia and a whole slue of other problems.

No, but I have a daughter, and there's another out there that looks like me but supposedly isn't mine.
