Personally, I wouldn’t. The idea of having a child with a severe disability like very low functioning autism is something I couldn't mentally or emotionally handle. I know it’s taboo to admit, but if my kid couldn't ever live independently, talk to me normally, have friends, get a job, or experience anything close to a normal life, I wouldn’t feel like I had the same experience of parenthood that most people do.
People always say "you’ll love them anyway" but I don’t think it’s fair to bring a life into this world if the potential outcome is that level of suffering or dependence. That's not the kind of parent I want to be, and I don't think everyone should have kids if they’re not willing to take on that risk.
Curious to what others think. Would you still want kids knowing there’s a chance you might never really connect with them in a typical way? Or is that a risk you think is worth it?
If I would have known how awful society would have become in the last decade, and how bleak this world turned out to be... I probably wouldn't have had kids.
But once you open Pandora's box it's not exactly like you can close it lol.
I knocked up a girl when I was 16 and my parents were way too old school Catholic to even DISCUSS abortion, so me and my first wife were married and had a kid when we were still in high school.
I definitely regret being married (and being married again, and hopefully I won't regret this one) but I don't regret having my kids because at least I raised them in a way to where they got the best parts of me and the best parts of their mother. They are critical and independent thinkers, and all three of them are in a really good spot. That's really all you can ask for in this horrible year of our lord, 2025.

Obviously this isn't me, are you out of your fucking MIND?
The internet should only be used for four things: pornography, looking up stuff that you don't know, watching movies and videos, and using it as an outlet to be the most insane horrible version of a human being that you can be.
I would never act like this in real life. Nobody would. If they did they would be in a fucking lunatic asylum.

You could add online gaming and ordering stuff to the list, but yeah. There is a reason why people act differently online than irl. Like this meme for instance.
Gaming yes but other than a few exceptions I don't think people should be ordering a lot of stuff online. We are killing our communities and small businesses by just buying everything off Amazon. I remember when Walmart was the big problem and now it's online ordering.
Seriously though. Can you imagine the kind of sociopath it would take in real life to act the way I or others do on this message board?
Fuck a grain, you need to take what people say on the internet with an entire deer salt lick.
That's what trips me out so hard about Ashley. Like THEY KNOW WHO YOU ARE, why and how are you continuing to say and do such crazy shit under your real name? Do you have any idea how fucked I would be if I had to put my real name on the out of pocket shit I've said on this message board even as a joke? It would be game over for my ass

I mean for shit that would be impossible to buy otherwise. Shit that you would need to travel the world to get if it were a hundred years ago. Nowadays you can order stuff online you would have to visit other countries for. There is also highly specific unique shit that can't be obtained in stores and can only be gotten online. You wouldn't be able to get it unless you order it online. I am the same way, if I can just buy it around where I live I will. But I have to order stuff online more than I would like to. So I consider that an invaluable part of the Internet. Just for pragmatism alone.

I guess because I was born in the '80s I was always under the default impression that EVERYTHING said and done online wasn't meant to be taken seriously.
But one day I woke up and the internet became a cornucopia of oversharing, political horse shit, degenerates and gross people enabling each other to be gross.
What was once the beautiful symphony of the trolls became the shrill harpy-like autistic shrieks of the social media fiends. Once Zuck face came along with his Facebook and fucked up the church's money, the online experience has never been the same.
Like I always say, for every truth you tell, tell three lies on the internet. That way even if you say something legitimate, it's buried within bullshit.
People in the online world are to be treated like mushrooms. Give them shit and keep them in the dark.
I hate my parents so obviously I don’t have that connection (Mostly their fault), but I’m ultimately happy I’m alive. Even if my kid couldn’t connect with me, I’d still want to give them that chance to ultimately find a way to be happy.
That being said though I would never have children precisely because of how badly my parents fucked me up, I heard the mentally unstable shouldn’t own dogs, I imagine that’d extend to children.

I don't understand why so many kids in our latest generation are coming out half a retard with autism, but I suspect that it has to do with misdiagnosis and being raised by social media. Hear me out:
Do we have created an entire generation of people who have had a tablet in their hands since they were able to hold one. Everything that they have done has been done online, of course they have no idea how to read people or pick up social cues or start normal human interaction. We've beaten it into their head for their entire life that they can just get online and do it that way.
And as for misdiagnosis it seems to change every 10 years or so. '80s babies like me ALL had ADD or ADHD. Everybody born in the '90s was diagnosed bipolar. People born in the 00's all have autism or are trannies.
And to me that speaks volumes about internet access by age. Someone like me, the internet was a boutique thing nobody cared about. The general consensus was "computers are for DORKS, fag" right before you punched somebody in the arm for playing Oregon trail on one. Even when we could get online when I was in high school it was on a dial-up modem and everything took forever to load so we didn't care. Imagine this picture:
Taking 30 minutes to download and that's literally all you had to beat your meat to, unless your old man was cool and bought you skin mags. Yeah it was the dark ages, but it was a simpler time.
High-speed internet and smartphones didn't start picking up traction till about 2005. That was the year I was able to legally drink. Now you look at my generation what was always being diagnosed? ADHD, because we were always being fucking annoying because none of us were on the internet lol. We hung out at the mall and hassled people and just generally made ourselves a nuisance anywhere we loitered.
Now you knock 10 years off and have a kid grow up with slow internet and it becomes mainstream right as they're hitting puberty. Those people are overly diagnosed as bipolar because they were raised as children normally, but right as their emotions were ramping up because of puberty... They were getting into fights online so they were having insane mood swings.
As for so many people being on the spectrum, I sincerely think that everybody being diagnosed with that in the past 10 or 15 years is precisely because there are people turning 20 this year who were literally born into a world with high-speed internet access. They literally have nothing else to make the comparison to. They never experienced pre 9/11 America, which is something that I feel so bad for people who didn't get a taste of that.
So I guess to answer your question in a very long-winded way (sorry about the rant) I wouldn't worry about my kids having autism, because I think it's just the overdiagnosed mental illness du jour. I think the percentage of people who actually have autism that have been diagnosed with it is about 5%
It's just like the transgender thing. Maybe one out of every 500 or 1,000 are really transgender, the rest are just mentally ill people or people doing it for clout or because it's the cosmopolitan and cool thing to do.
So yeah... I'd be more scared of my kid coming out a cripple or having leukemia or something more than being "autistic" because I think that being autistic is just a cover and a crutch for what the real problem is: lazy parenting that led to a crippling social media addiction.
I hate my parents so obviously I don’t have that connection (Mostly their fault), but I’m ultimately happy I’m alive. Even if my kid couldn’t connect with me, I’d still want to give them that chance to ultimately find a way to be happy.
That's true. I mean you never know what's going to happen your kid could get shot tomorrow, life isn't guaranteed. So even if your kid came out healthy he could still die (which I think is tremendously worse than him being crippled or retarded or anything)
So you're always going to roll the dice when you have kids.
That being said though I would never have children precisely because of how badly my parents fucked me up, I heard the mentally unstable shouldn’t own dogs, I imagine that’d extend to children.
Now see the weird thing is, in my experience, almost everyone I knew that had a bad childhood or were abused that have kids are EXTREMELY good to their kids. I was probably the last generation of kids where getting the fuck beaten out of you by your old man was considered normalcy, but I see a lot of my friends who are around 40 and they all have kids that are teenagers to early twenties who are great kids because their parents chose to raise them completely different than their parents did.
