Is not finding babies cute an Aspie trait?

Post Reply New Topic

Hi.
I've always felt a little weird with the fact that as a female I feel uncomfortable around babies, and don't find them cute. They are bald drooling blobs who don't start looking human until they are past toddlerhood. What's more odd is that I find baby animals cute, and they have the same "evolutionary cute" characteristics as human babies ie, large skull, relatively flat face and big eyes.
I wonder if that's an Aspie trait, or do most female (or male) Aspies find human babies cute and it's just a quirk of mine?

I like babies, though not all are attractive looking. But I find them very interesting and like to look at them.

I don't find human babies cute at all. I don't even want to be around them, they smell, scream and cry. But, of course, baby animals are cute.

I sometimes find babies cute. It's not related to ASD.

They're cute.

It might be in my case though. Babies are raw emotion and are a bit intimidating. I'm quite afraid I'll neglect it or do something wrong and give the thing a complex.

I think some babies are cute (and most are not) but all the same I don't feel...er, whatever it is that other people feel that makes them act silly over babies.

I don't know if it's an aspie trait, but I think babies are positively revolting.

Human newborn infants are kinda of gross. They look better after a few years but animal infants like kittens, puppies are cute right from the beginning.

I like babies and toddlers

no newborns are cute. except i loved my daughter the moment i saw her, but i can admit she got cuter as she got older. Some babies are ugly or not particularly cute through toddler years as well, its about 50/50

Human babies: dislike....... Animal babies: love

I think babies are cute. There is a daycare at my mom's house. So sometimes there will be a baby that she is watching. I don't know why but I just think they are amazing. But when the kids are older like 3+ I think they are just annoying.

And sometimes younger. If they are quite and just watching you I feel like it is really cool.

I find that babies are adorable and enjoyable to be around. I wouldn't want any of my own though. If I were to have babies, I'd adopt them. Pregnancy would be too much of a shock for me with my Gender Identity Disorder.

I find babies gross and annoying. Totally not cute.
Another thing, their cries creep me out.

A kitten though makes me awwwwww

I don't find hooman babies cute, but I do find small children cute. Once their hair grows out, they start to look cute with their big eyes, soft cheeks, and little fingers.
