Do you get on well with children?

Post Reply New Topic

I don't really get along well with them. I'm always nervous they will hurt themselves.

No, I actually HATE small children. They're disgusting, they wet themselves and they cry non-stop.

Oddly enough, most of my friends are younger than me. I have 2 friends and a few good acquaintances that are 2 grades below me...even one who's 3 years below me.

Me too! I can talk with them about any special interests they may have but that's about it with any child or teen, excep with my own friends. With babies and toddlers, I can talk to them or be in a room with them for a little while but I have to escape to another area shortly afterward; I've always related to animals better, as well as adults.

I avoid children at all costs. Unless it is absolutely necessary to interact with them for whatever reason. But otherwise I completely avoid children.

I used to. I would often go to my grandma's class, who used to be a teacher to help out. I was a kid myself then(though an older one) and didn't mind playing on the playground with them, and eating lunch, reading my stories I had written to them. Now though they seem to annoy me, and I don't know why.

I think myself that I don't get along with kids. But last week I visited a friend of mine and he said that his kids had missed me a bit. Strange, but perhaps that's because I don't give them special treatment - I speak to them almost as to adults. That might be refreshing.

Often I hear such a language (especially from older women) to small children that I wonder how they ever learn to speak normally. Babies must be geniuses

I don't get along with children my age in general. Especially all those extroverted NTs who go out and party and get drunk until they kill off their final brain cell. I can't stand loud, annoying kids that violate my privacy either. Usually i'm very shy around people in general.

I think little kids are really annoying.Loud voices,messy hands and no manners.

I think it depends on my mood. I don't like how little kids stare at me, I feel like they know something. Logically I know it's just a little kid thing to start at people like they're freaks, but it still makes me nervous.

I really don't like babies, they creep me out!! ! Always staring at you..... I like it better when they learn to talk.

Woah, I messed that one up. Let me say that again...

Logically I know it's just a little kid thing to stare at adults like they or we are freaks, but it still makes me nervous.

When I was in my teens I got along really well with little kids. I can still do a pretty good job at making kids smile and things like that but I have a more difficult time maintaining my concentration and avoiding going nuts with sensory overloads (kids yelling). I also don't respond well when a little kid gets upset. I remember at my evaluation for AS the doctor saying Asperger's because more acute as you get older. I think this is definitely the case with me.

yeah, my son does that too, being a clown with toddlers and a cool guy with older boys but rarely easy contact with children his own age (exept for one friend he has, living in another town at 16O km, but they see eachother quit often -holidays)


i have very easy with children, it seems i understand every age and can act accordingly,
as a teacher no problem either (although i had to learn it) they like my creativity.

but with my own kids it's tougher sometimes (especially when my husband and i are communicating together with them, it doesn't seem to work, it's either my way or his it seems. or, as happens very often, NT versus AS in a friendly way that is)

I like babies and toddlers. Older kids, not so much. I mean, I do like them in an impersonal way, but talking to them and their scrutiny makes me uncomfortable and nervous.

I like my child very much, but I think that is partly because he is exactly like his dad and I. I can’t stand to be around other children and am a wreck after only a few minutes of having to listen to it.
