will I ever have a child?

[28andworried]

I hope this isn’t offensive to anyone.

I am 28, quite plump and type 1 diabetic. I’m terrified my health and age are working against me. I’ve looked into IUI and sperm donation I don’t have a partner but I don’t believe a child needs a two parent family. I have enough family for the child and plenty of friends. I’m immature for my age. I’m just worried time is running away from me. I know I could give a child a good and interesting life with a lot of love and nurture. I know a lot of the time children are a nightmare and are very expensive and definitely need routine.

Well, I'm autistic too OP (don't know much about EUPD), and having DS1 at 35 certainly kicked me into a state of maturity in a hurry! (That, CBT and slowly realising that I'm autistic). I haven't found it easy, I have 2 DC now and am still a lone parent, but we are a great little family and don't regret having them.
