Don't you realize that everybody is "genetically screwed" in some fashion? We are the product of many mutations.
I just don't think Asperger's is the worst thing one could have.
And, like I said, two totally "NT" parents have, on many occasions, produced "classic" autistic children.
Of course, I can understand a woman not wanting to go through the rigors of pregnancy.
I didn't have kids----because I didn't believe I'd be a great dad. It doesn't have much to do with me having autism. Many people without autism are not great dads. I think I'd be okay now, though.
My genetics are particularly bad. It has little to do with autism. There is a lot worse you can have, and it’s in my family line. My great grandmother was institutionalised for severe bipolar, Grandad had a severe anger problem which I inherited, another disorder that curves your back, other side has dementure, we have autism, hormonal dysfunction, I have BPD and ADD.
