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

please, anyone, share your experiences!  I found  the whole marriage thing exhausting enough,  but since I had 2 kids - life became IMPOSSIBLE...  I never even wanted kids...and still don't...

  • to crystal12 -  funny you should ask that!  yes, I had different combinations going through my head - anything to decrease the number of people in my space ...and yes, sometimes I think it'll be better if my husband left ( a) less physical contact ( although we haven't really had much contact for 11 years, and none at all for the last 2, but still...)  b) when he starts disciplining kids  all the noise it creates makes me feel much worse) ...but because I never wanted children and constantly feel like I'm in someone else's play , I'm considering leaving ... my husband is not a fan of this idea, keeps sending me from one therapy to another to "fix" me into a dutiful wife and mother...
