Hope this doesn't sound too odd, but that's the kind of thing my bf would say.

Also: Google the term "paedomorphosis."
Most of what I found referred to amphibians, but if anyone can track down something useful pertaining to humans, please let me know. I remember reading about this in a Psychology textbook once. Supposedly, beings that appear to be more "child-like" (humans or otherwise) encourage a greater desire to care for them.
I may be remembering this incorrectly--in that case, sorry, please ignore this.

But I am quickly coming to understand why there are so many in these threads complaining about how they can't get dates and nobody wants to be in a relationship with them.
Anyone who can spew this kind of bile and hatred toward innocent little babies, simply because the idea of diverting even a part of their attention from their own interests is unacceptable, is not capable of entering into a mature relationship with another person.
If you're so cold hearted and self absorbed that you have no compassion to give for someone completely innocent and helpless, how can you ever hope to attract, or sustain a relationship with, someone old enough to actually have personal baggage and flaws?
Although, if any aspies have poor physical control, they may be better off avoiding children & especially babies b/c they are easy to break/damage even if you don't intend to harm them. (So far I've never hurt a baby or small child & plan to keep it that way) In that case avoiding children would actually be responsible. Their is definitely a major difference between hating kids and disliking them due to not understanding them.

I have always loved babies. I liked watching them and looking at them. Then when they got to a year old, I wasn't interested in them anymore. I noticed in the home videos how I loved my brother when I was three but when he got to one years old, I got mean to him. He was touching my stuff and wrecking my fort I made with my blocks because my parents would let him go near it and knock it down. So no wonder I was mean to him 
I would never let my own child wreck other peoples stuff or even get near it. Seriously, why do people let their babies and young kids wreck other peoples stuff? Why do other people let them do it too? They wouldn't let them poke thier fingers in the sockets or touch things that are important to them such as their taxes or their movie camera or their camera or touch anything they could choke on or put in their mouths such as crayons or markers but yet they would let them get near someone's sandcastle and wreck it or get near someone's fort they made with blocks and knock it down. Why the irony? My parents didn't let me touch their books, I could only touch my own but yet they let my little brother get near my fort and knock it down. This is something I hate about parents and everyone else who allows the little ones to do it.

Ages and stages topic
Babies and children I enjoy. I find the teen years difficult. 
Rational adults (rare) are welcome.
