As for me,it's undecided,but I actually like the idea of adopting 5 kids from Russia,Sweden,and Korea.

Right now its a no. It would take a good bit of convincing from a woman for me to want to have kids. Only conceivable way I could see doing it right now was if I did not work.

No. I have my doubts in my parenting abilities. I feel that if I have kids, I have certain responsibilities as a father, which I wouldn't be certain if I could give.

All I know is if I do have kids, as soon as they go into first grade, it'll be my responsibility to keep them within the same school system, the same town, and hopefully the same neighborhood. Mostly to give my kids the geographic stability I've not had and to save them from having to go through the new student experience more than once.

This is a good question.

For all i read, i'm also an aspie. I have a diagnosed sun (6 years old) and a daughter (11) who may, or not, have asperger's syndrome.

When i was younger, i never felt the need to be a mother. Even after married, it wasn't that important. When my daughter was born, i wasn't sure i loved her, at least not enough.

I had to wait until i was divorced and i had not only the responsability for my kids well beeing, as also for their happiness, that i realised they're the most important thing in my life. And that i don't want to live without them.

If that ins't love, well, what's that? It's worth to be a mother!! !!

It depends what happens in the long run, I suppose. I'm not fussed either way.

And welcome back, SpaceCase. :)

Luisa: I'm coming to Tavira in April. Better get that Super Bock ready. ;)

No. I don't think I'd be a good father. I get too overwhelmed and too angry too frequently.

No. I have a sister who is twelve years younger than I am (and who, incidentally, my mother also suspects might have AS). From dealing with her, I can safely say that I never want kids. Ever.

It depends if I get a women first.

But if I do, get a women, then no. I don't wish to have the lot of stress of bringing up a child, and for all I know I might pass my AS on to him.
