I have a child with Aspergers. Actually 2. My daughter is diagnosed AS too. I also score with a high AQ and was said to be 'very likely an aspie' on the aspie quiz.

My question to you would be what is it about an AS child that you think would be so difficult to raise? In most ways, looking at my two boys, one being AS the other not, I find that dealing with them is pretty close to the same. There are issues of course socially with my AS child and I have to speak for him many times, even though he's 12 because he's extremely shy but they are, remember, high functioning autistics.

I just don't understand that thinking.

Shoot having a neurotypical child isnt problem free anyway.

I don't know, maybe I'm biased because I've raised him for 12 years and it's all normal to me but I don't see it as that bad.
