Are Most Aspies Good With Babies/Kids or Not Like Them?

Post Reply New Topic

Wow. I am really, really surprised that the majority of you dislike kids so much! Interesting...

I even find pictures of babies repulsive and can't stay on various fourms for very long because someone uses a picture of their baby as their icon.

i love babies/children. they don't have any of the things i hate about grown-ups. they're all pure-minded and honest and uncorrupted. and cute as hell.
i don't understand when people don't like them

Oh, I forgot - I don't like toddlers in general. They are too unpredictable. One minute they're sitting quietly, the next minute they're screaming their head off (which worries me). The sound of toddlers cannot be ignored by me.

I don't like kids, and people in general. I am not a people's person. Kinda like Red from that 70s show. Kids gave me hell and always talked to me only when they needed something from me. After they got it, I was like nothing to them.

Babies and small children are tentacles of Satan .

Well, maybe that's a bit strong, but I cannot tolerate having them around. I'm kind and respectful, but I count down seconds to the time when they'll not be anywhere near me. They're noisy, needy, smelly, germy, and a doggone nuisance in general.

I positively have never had any fatherly urge at all, and I'm very happy that my wife is not too hot on the idea of kids, although she certainly doesn't dislike being around them the way I do.

I'm perfectly happy to have older kids around, but not 'til they are at least 10 or 12, and are well-disciplined and polite. If I did wind up cursed with a toddler, I guarantee he/she'd only carry on once, screaming and crying in public for candy or whatever. I know I was only allowed to try that once, and I never did it again. That's the way it should be, but in today's society, parents are stifled by law from exercising proper discipline. And yes, my parents were both military officers.

I get reluctant to go up the doctors for anything, because of the thought of having someone's toddler near me shouting or whining or bawling. Due to my sensory issues, I find it very difficult to remain calm and cool when there's a loud kid right near me. I really don't know how some people can do it. And I can't listen to my MP3 in the doctors because you've got to listen for your name to be called on a speaker, and I have trouble concentrating on other sounds when I'm listening to an MP3. And the waiting-room is the only place you have to sit and wait.

This world was built for people who absolutely love the sound of toddler's blood-curdling screams!

Yer but once when I was on the bus, a woman got on with a 2-year-old, and there wasn't any more spare seats, so she had to sit next to someone else, with the kid on her lap, and the kid was so noisy and kept on fidgeting and screaming (he was quite a miserable toddler), and this girl (who they were sitting right next to) was just happily sitting there reading a book, looking really relaxed. I envied her, because if that was me who had this kid sitting next to me making a din in my ears, I wouldn't be able to sit calmly reading a book! For one thing, I wouldn't be able to concentrate. Another thing I wouldn't be able to even relax. And I'd be getting a headache.

But my mum said that once she was on a bus and a kid was having a massive tantrum for about half an hour, and had the most loudest roar that nobody on the bus could bear it. A couple of old people at the front got up and moved. Others looked at the kid, because it was having an allmighty tantrum, a bit too extreme from just typical. I don't know how the bus-driver coped, I really don't. Controlling a big vehicle with such an atrocious noise from such a small human being kicking about behind him. My mum said it's a wonder nobody went deaf. That's how bad it was.

I've always disliked both babies and children (even when I was one). I've never really understood how people can possibly find babies cute. I made the mistake once of telling someone I thought they were quite ugly verging on repulsive. I also have to monitor my language when I'm talking about them to someone else because I always tend to want to refer to a baby/toddler as "it" instead of "he" or "she." I slip up all the time, unfortunately.

Occasionally, really little children come up to me and stare at me, which is always baffling/uncomfortable. I try to just ignore them until they go away. Kids tend to like me instinctively though, something I've never understood.

Like a lot of others here though, I'm MUCH better with animals. Or, actually, just cats.

I am terrible with babies really.

I don't like kids, babies are ok when they're not crying.
