What's an Aspies view on child bearing and rearing?

Post Reply New Topic

Can an Aspie be a [good] parent? Depends on the person. I know some Aspies who are great parents, a few not so much though. No different than the general population in that regard -- some are good parents, some aren't.

I feel this thread belongs in parenting thread I have answered similar questions there

Adoption?
will be easier cos they wont have to handle a small baby, go through birth process, pain, labour, morning sickness,

Abortion?


Raising a family?
Its tough right from taking admission in school for child, socialising with other parents to ask school curriculum,
trying to fit in with other parents its trouble all the time

Can an Aspie raise a family alone?
it would be very hard and the child would be damaged since the aspie would not be socially cut off

Adoption?
Certainly never as a replacement for having your own kids. If you can't raise your own kids... why raise someone elses? No point in raising them if not to propagate one's loins.

Abortion?
Murder in your belly? Who consents to death?

Raising a family?
Sure... unless one is planning for immortality and thus postponement of raising a family pending their situation, it should be a person's long term goal in any case.

Single Parenting?
Sure, why not. I recommend reading Crest of the Stars, it's a good way to look at single parenting.

Adoption?

At least that kid has a home and won't be going foster care to foster care and ending up being screwed up adults nor stuck in a orphanage over seas where they are being abused or neglected and then they end up in prison as adults because they were so screwed up. Plus not everyone can have kids so at least they will get to have kids after all even if they can't have their own.


Abortion?

One less unwanted child in the world and just imagine how many how unwanted kids there be if non one had one? Not everyone can adopt nor wants to adopt. Plus everyone wants a baby so lot of the older kids never get adopted. Besides a fetus can't feel pain until they are around 20 weeks so having one before that is humane. I think it's a personal choice for the woman to make and it's something to keep private because it's a controversial issue and people can view you as a bad person for it and even judge you.


Raising a family?

Sure. I am already but my husband is the head of the household now. He said it was too stressful for me so he took over.

Can an Aspie raise a family alone?

I think it be too stressful for me and it take support from my parents and in laws.
