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... 

Parents
  • ...I do like getting out to some park with my camera whenever I can...doesn't happen very often though ...and I still have to come back "home" at the end of the day  which is not easy ...plus  the whole process of orginizing a day off ( i.e sorting out everybody's meals ) is quite a hastle  I end up avoiding ... my way to cope with the challanges of life is to simplify everything, lots of planning, lists, routins and just doing things on my own( I can't coordinate my actions with  others, can't communicate what I'm planning to do for some reason)   and family is a hugely complex structure , that involves too many people, too many things to think through, to much chaos and unpredictability that throws me right out of track ,  in the end I'm not able to get anything done , can't concentrate on anything... so a day off does help temporarily , but doesn't make that much of a difference.
