If I have understood this correctly this hormone will among other things make you more prone to trust other people. This could have devastating effects on an autistic individual that is already naiv/gullible and easily taken advantage of due to his or her lack of social understanding. For this reas...

NT's seem to be better than I am at going through the motions of life. They don't get so incapacitated by anxiety and inertia. They definitely don't get overwhelmed by things as easily as I do.

All the traits of Asperger's are the polar opposite of what is required to be a nurturing empathetic parent. If Asperger's is indeed the correct diagnosis, declining to be a parent would be desired and ea...
