As and having children

Jon

I know that I don't want children. I am in a relationship and my partner is now OK with this.

I wondered what other people on the spectrum thought about having children. Would they like to have them? For myself I find the whole idea totally crazy - I just don't have that feeling to want them. I can only see negatives.

Thoughts?

    and I do sometimes get sad seeing other people in "normal" relationships somehow juggling life, social life, their household, work, money and children like it's easy or comes naturally to them. 

    I am not sure i am sad but I certainly see a difference in the ease that some people seem to juggle lives that would totally faze me.

    I guess sad is the wrong word. Envy is probably more appropriate. I envy people who can juggle these things effortlessly (seemingly so anyway) and can just have a life, social life, kids etc and not be constantlly overwhelmed.
