Potential egg donor question

[Yorky]

Good evening ladies.
I am considering donating my eggs as our family is complete, DH is going for the snip, and I've always been of the opinion that 'anything I can't use, give to someone who can,' whether its a lung or an egg.
I am 35 but the clinic I spoke to today say there is time to collect eggs before my next birthday, which is the cut off before my eggs are past it.

A bigger concern is that DD1 has ASD/is autistic. She is at the mild end of the spectrum, and none of her cousins/siblings/wider family have ASD and with the uncertainty over the cause(s) of ASD it may or may not be genetic, th elady on the phone sounded quite uncertain about whether \i'd be a suitable donor.

SO my question (eventually) is this - is an autistic child better than none? Would you consider my eggs if you saw my profile?

Thank you

Yes! I would consider your eggs, even with a risk.
To explain a bit why I would. When I was little my first best friend (and still a dear friend today) was mentally challenged. In High School our school had various mixed students of different needs and special needs were one of the sections the school had. Knowing the challenges my friend faced and still faces (bullying, etc), I stuck up for each and everyone of the kids there my entire time there to make sure they had a fair chance of having an enjoyable High School experience bully free and it worked! I am still friends with each and every one of those students and today each and everyone is my best friend. :)
After School I also took care of my friends brother who is autistic.

When I found out i was pregnant for the first time we were given very poor odds after testing of having a "normal" child and strongly advised to abort because such a young couple could never handle such a challenge. Rubbish if you ask me. When I gave birth the doctors were very worried things would go very wrong and they went error free. While my child does not have a disability (which rather shocked doctors) I would not think anything less of her if she did and I know many more women out there strongly feel this way as well!

Thank you mawinter, its lovely to hear I am not the only one who feels this way, I know we are lucky that DD1 has relatively mild autism, but I still wouldn't be without her. I was shocked by the response of the woman on the phone

I would be shocked too, enough to report her. She has no right to say such a thing without a full history and workup done, even more so just as a woman answering the phone and probably not even a doctor.
