how people on the spectrum cope with being parents???

I've always felt a bit like I was an 'oddity' because I never liked dating and have no interest in settling down, getting married and having children. It all seems like too much effort to have to keep up with someone else's expectations, to have to suppress who I am all the time.

I have been on about four dates in my whole life and during every single one of them I've found it too much effort and have never taken the relationships any further. I'm pretty sure I'd find marriage pretty difficult and children fairly impossible so you're not the only one.
