Funny how you were the first to being kids into the discussion.
But I do agree, kids should be kids as long as possible.

I'm not being negative. I'm being realistic.
Bullies come from all walks of life.
I've read more and more stories of how awful teens and preteens can be. And it isn't just "straight" kids doing it.

i was asking why you would bring a child into this world knowing that they will suffer, i'm sure there are good moments but my sisters boss has an adult autistic daughter and the mother and father have been put in the hospital many times with broken bones, bite marks, getting beat by an adult who cant comprehend the world around them.
Police and what not are on a first name basis due to EMS being there so much.
As far as god, doesnt matter to me if you believe or not, if i did i might say that parents who bring disabled children into this world knowingly so should burn in hell
you say you believe in responsible procreation and that you believe in science but you choices say otherwise
your child will never experience life as non neuro divergent person will, how do you think collage will go? How about high school? Kids are savages and will say things with no filter.
and you didnt answer ONE of my questions.
Would you support your Autistic child have children? And if yes who is going to take care of another autistic person when one or more parents already are? The state? Grandma/you?
what plans have you made for you child after you and the father die? Burden someone else with your choice?
I assume you have a trust fund set up so tax payers don't have to pay an unfair share of money to support your child after you are gone.

also Autism is outlined in the DSM-V on with guide lines for autism.
it is possible to have autism and other mental health issues on top of it.
and just to make sure you know i was playing devils advocate for 99% and i never was aiming at you i honestly was wondering what made you not try again.
Children are already these days having a very hard time, mine did not do well over the time when they weren't in school because of COVID
