Is not finding babies cute an Aspie trait?

Post Reply New Topic

Sorry, don't want to derail this thread any further but ^^^^^^ this!

I dont care for newborns but I think as they grow older and start walking and starting to talk and stuff their cute. Then i remember they grow up o.O

you know what i think is an aspie trait? thinking random stuff is an aspie trait. I'm sure there are lots of neurotypicals that think the same of babies too. i for one like babies although it is weird for me when they stare at you like they are trying to remember who you are even when you never met them before. other then their awkward staring at you they are fairly cute. oh also how you say that they are not cute because they don't really look human or however you worded it. well that reminds me of something i learned about once called The Uncanny Valley. you should look it up. it kinda relates to how you think of babies. kinda sorta

P.S. if i said something that has basically already been said it is because i did not read what everyone else had to say.

But what if I don't?

I'm not sure its worth risking....

Can't stand them, don't like them, don't want one. Yet apparently there is something very wrong with me because I don't have a desire to have kids. My mum called me selfish etc. for not wanting to have kids. I do wonder why she wanted to have them, considering the sh***y childhood she and my dad provided.

I had one and didn't feel anything towards it and didn't even hold it. I gave it up for adoption.

I had people giving me the "once you see your own you'll love it" line. It wasn't true for me.

hahahaha good one

Hmm... I don't really think so.

I find babies cute.

Yeah it was the "gotta see the baby" one none of them where intrested, not even Elaine

I find I am indifferent to babies. I don't mind them, but I also won't go out of my way to ooh and ahh over one.

However, with my nephew it's a completely different story. He's almost 2 and I absolutely adore him. Then again, it's probably a bias based on evolution and blah blah blah.

I don't think aspires are inclined to fawn over babies, given our natural inclination to be emotionally aloof, logical, and tendency towards facial prosopagnosia.

Well that's my 2 cents.

Believe me there is nothing wrong with you. And you are 100% right, not worth trying out just to find out you were right in the first place!

I don't like human babies. I never have. I feel highly uncomfortable around babies and children mostly because I don't know what to do and how to behave around children. I don't understand their language and all the noises they make.

Babies are not cute, I don't want to touch them or hold them or talk to them. And I won't even pretend to do so which is probably very irritating to most people. Because oooh I'm a girl and I have to looooove kids. eww.
Now in my office there are 3 pregnant women, and another one who just had her baby a few days ago. I'm not looking forward to her coming here to show the baby around and everybody going aaaaah oooooh kuchee kuchee. wtf.

The maybe only reason babies and small children may be cute is because you can let them wear cute clothes (i saw a kid wearing a winnie the pooh dress the other day --dressed as winnie the pooh. now that was cute somehow) Anyway, if it is just for the dresses I could also get a dog or an iPhone....

Animal babies! ftw!

I find all human babies disgusting. They look like ET's nephew and all they do is poop, puke and cry.

No offense toward parents and would-be parents; but I think babies and small children are extensions of Satan. Diapers, problems, smells, poo, pee, screaming, crying, difficulty, germs, bacteria, fungus, dirty clothes, bloody knees, disobedience, and that's just up to about age 2.

I think babies are cute.

I don't get excited over babies before a certain age, they don;t interest me until they start showing a little personality. My youngest niece is like 6 months old and im really warming to her as she starts noticing the world around her, at the very least i can't resist the urge to make her laugh a couple of times if i see her. So not babies but once they start smiling.

Oh, cute, i don't think i find them cute though, they're just interesting little people. I don't like them for what they look like, i like kids but i don't think they're actually cute.

That's gold.

I generally ignore them. I honestly dont see the attraction. They aren't cute. They s**t, pee, vomit, scream - all really uncute qualities.
And I hate the people who insist on "cooing" (-read "shrieking") back at them.
