How do you feel about having a kid.

Post Reply New Topic

I would love to have kids someday. I'm already getting older however i figure i would adopt. There are a lot of kids in the system that need homes.
As for having one myself, i don't know... there are too many variables at this point.

I hate most kids, I have no idea how to interact with them. However, I am completely connected to my own two, they feel like extensions of myself. They have made my life infinitely better.

My son is on the spectrum; my daughter is too young to speculate about. The possibility of an ASD did not and will not effect my desire to reproduce. Everyone has something to offer. I also believe my son is lucky to have a mother who understands him so well, I wish my parents had had a clue when I was growing up.

I have no plans to have kids as it would be just far to stressful.

I never want to have a kid, aspergers hasn't been very kind to me in life and I worry that if I ever did have a kid, they would be autistic too and suffer like I did

I've always wanted a kid. I had the opportunity of day caring my brother's kid for several years, starting at just six months old. It was very rewarding. She's 19 now and I know she thinks I would make a good parent.

I am going to become a "Big Brother" to a kid with autism soon. And I've considered maybe even trying single parent adoption. It really doesn't look like marriage is in my future. But if it does happen, all I can say is, what if my parents had decided not to have me if they had known ahead of time I'd have problems?

Kids are always a crap shoot. The kid could be perfectly NT, but be a lousy kid. A bully and a delinquent etc.
