Childfree Autistic Relatives

Post Reply New Topic

Should autistic relatives avoid having children because it's hereditary?

That is a terrible thing to think.

Better, should people have children when they have not resolved their own issues and learned to live authentic lives and make authentic choices. I say the answer is NO!

If someone wants children and they're able to care for them, then why not. If they don't then they shouldn't. Not because they're autistic.

No doubt there are still some old-style eugenicists who believe in the "should" of this thread's title, though the smarter ones would know that two neurotypical parents can also have autistic offspring.

I am very glad that I became an AS parent and grandparent and used my own intrinsic knowledge and experience of living as an AS person myself to guide my children and grandchildren toward more fulfilment of their individual talents. AS children born to NT parents don't have that advantage, and are probably more likely to be packed off to ABA behaviourist programs to be trained rather like the animals behaviourists founded their shonky theory on.

Whether or not anyone with any hereditary disorders should have kids, is something that they need to find their own individual answer to. There is no right or wrong, black or white solution to that.
Not everyone would be able to deal with it, and they shouldn't be made to, it's not in the best interest of anyone.

That is up to them, however I don't think they should avoid having kids just because the kid is more likely to be autistic. We aren't less than the nt.

Not only is it a terrible thing to suggest, but it's like saying brown haired people shouldn't have children because brown hair is hereditary just like we don't tell people with disabilities like blindness not to have children.

I don't see there as being any Autism-Asperger's Hereditary Disorder, or Deficiency, or Defect.

This is why I don't even talk about Autism - Apsergers, or Neurological difference, I am calling the lived experience of being an outsider, Shamanic Experience.

And of course you want any future shamans to be raised by shamans, not muggles.

And as far as torturing children, I present to you Lynn Kern Koegel of the University of California:

I believe her actions fall within the Nuremburg definition of Crimes Against Humanity:

"Murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation, and other inhumane acts committed against any civilian population, before or during the war, or persecutions on political, racial or religious grounds in execution of or in connection with any crime within the jurisdiction of the Tribunal, whether or not in violation of the domestic law of the country where perpetrated."

And so overseas War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity prosecution is written into the German Constitution and Federal Law. Remember it was a Spanish Judge who handed out the indictment against Augusto Pinochet.

And in Germany NGO's can bring about indictments. There are already a couple of prominent Americans whom you won't be seeing at Oktoberfest, or anywhere else in the EU.

And without the Eugenics Movement, Autism could not even exist:

Eugenics and Social Darwinism started in the latter part of the 19th Century. But the formulation which remains most influential today comes to us from the Nazi Party.

^^ Yeah, I was referring to the cohort of failed saints, but couldn't think of a graceful way to throw that it.
