Is not finding babies cute an Aspie trait?

For me, be a better parent, watch your stuff.

I find them adorable personally.

I'm scared when mothers hand me their babies if they're too young. I think I will move and it's neck will break even when they're supposed to be old enough to support their own head (I don't know enough about babies to know when this is).
They seem to think I'm really good with babies because I'll be silently holding them for 3 hours as they sleep. But really I'm concentrating on keeping perfectly still to avoid killing it >.>

Also, I find they don't like my fake smiles so I don't like pulling faces at them or using a stupid voice. I just talk to them normally.

I had one baby and it was crying loads any my fake smiles and silly faces weren't working so I just let it cry and rocked it a bit. Then I made a lame joke which of course I found hilarious and laughed heartily and the baby thought I was just as funny and joined in. Then I was like 'you don't even know what you're laughing at' and laughed more and the baby was so incredibly happy. It was nice to know only genuine emotions affect babies. But it's hard to make a genuine laugh or smile so normally I have a staring competition with babies.

I’m the same
I don’t know if it’s an aspie trait but I sure find human babies to be anything but cute.
Unlike baby animals who are so lovely


My NT mother is the same though, so...

I don't find them cute. That goes for a lot of things besides babies as well. Like for example I don't go nuts over: Christmas Lights, Flowers, Sunsets, etc. I don't see the big deal is over it. And as far as babies and kids whatever, I am not comfortable around them at all. I never wanted kids, but accidents happen and I have a daughter, she is 8 now, and luckily I had/have a lot of help raising her.

I went to a hockey game last night and 2 rows above me someone thought it would be a great idea to bring their baby who cried through part of the game and was a total distraction. When I looked up at the thing it had drool all over its face and nasty food stuck to it. It was NASTY! I spent the rest of the game waiting for it to projectile vomit all over me because that's my luck. Fortunately it didn't, but seriously, a hockey game is not a good place for a baby. Leave it at home!

And for the record, I am in the process of trying to obtain approval for a medical procedure to prevent pregnancy because I have no desire to have a child, I'd be a horrible parent. I refuse to get married or do anything to make pregnancy possible until I'm able to get the procedure done because I want absolutely 100% no possible way I could ever have a child. I won't even date anyone who has fathered a child previously because I don't want to be a mother.

Can you do so without medical reasons?
I would rather like to do that, but that's more so because my female functions have wrecked my health and if I wasn't able to have kids it would eliminate my problems most likely.

I sure hope it is! But I also think I have enough health stuff that would make it dangerous to carry a child to term that I have a good enough argument. We'll see.

Your age might be against you there. I think the NHS takes a dim view of sterilisation requests from someone in their early 20s. Please don't shoot the messenger! You may be very clear in your own mind, but THEY will assume you might change your mind later. Although I believe that tying off the Fallopian tubes is a reversible procedure.

If you have other health issues that are related then they might be willing to consider it.

Yet you still drink/eat the %^$ Why is that ?

I wont start as you don't seem to understand supply/demand.

I don't think it's an aspie trait, I think it's more to do with nurturing instinct and how much you posses.
I for one turn into a squeeing cooing mess when I come across anyone under 6 , oh and contrary so some of your beliefs newborns smell awesome, you could have made an air freshener out of my siblings as babies.
Baby animals are even cuter! There's nothing more adorable than a baby elephant with a less than dexterous trunk waving about.

By the way, I have a question, do men have a "paternal instinct"? Do they have their own version of wanting to look after a cute baby or animal? Or is it mostly just a female thing?

But yes men do have paternal instinct.

I have seen it in my husband and brother. My brother would make a bottle for his baby and always hold him and try and put him to sleep and change his diapers too just like his girlfriend. I also know he likes to call my parents when they watch his son during lunch break and he likes talking to his son and hearing him on the phone. he always misses him when he is gone.

My husband likes giving our baby snacks and putting the TV on for him and he also feeds him too. He also plays with him and changes his diaper when I am not home. He has bad feet so changing him is hard since he has to stand. He also misses him when he is at work.

I'm referring more to men towards children not their own or animals that aren't their pets.

Huh, you mean their babies are their pets?

Nah, that's just a normal male trait.
