These days it's not uncommon for some parents to work second jobs just to live paycheck to paycheck. I imagine those parents do not have much time to spend with their kids. IDK how Aspie parents working two jobs could have any time for their special interests or some alone time to wind down & destress :(

I want kids but I am not at the point in my life where I can have kids because I have not found a woman who is church of Christ yet and I want to make sure i have enough money to support a family. I want lots of kids.

I was married to a Pentecostal Christian once. The difference in views on religion did cause some friction, but I still don't think that alone would have sunk our marriage. Once we'd agreed that I wouldn't tell her there isn't a god as long as she didn't tell me there is, we got on a lot better in that respect.
