I am looking for tools, books, techniques, anything you may know to be helpful. Feel free to share your stories too. I am wondering if I am alone ... |

| Hi! I'm an autistic woman. My partner is neurotypical. I am ambivalent about having children. My ambivalence is in part related to heritability of ASD and knowing how challenging that may be.
