I am a proud Autistic "spawner" of children, grand children and one great-grandchild. My kids were all born many years before I was aware that I am Autistic. Had I been aware, I still would have had children, but I would have become an Autistic activist about 40 years earlier.


Do you have autistic sons?


She has grand-children, so I'm guessing at least one her kids is a girl... :roll:

Why? Last I checked, boys could be parents too.


It's related to an earlier joke I said in this thread, by hinting that usually female aspies get married and procreate, while aspie guys usually don't.
The joke is based on what I observe here (most girls get bfs and husbands while most chronic loners are male), and also on a very reliable study I mentioned earlier in other thread that shows how low the marriage rate among autistic men ~0%.
I recall a female member once asking women here in a threa why so many women here are married young.

If you put the pieces together, you'll see that my joke has some truth.


my diagnosed aspie nephew has a girlfriend.

i'm past child-bearing age with no kids. i wouldn't have minded passing on my longevity and high intelligence genes. one kid would have been enough and more than two would have been too many. i would only have had them with a partner who would have been a good parent. i had chances to have kids with selfish guys and passed on it.

Nah. I'm too much of a man. My Peahawks and my Om Noms are my babies.
