Grandchildren! Do you think your children will have children?

[hecate]

I have just been talking about my broodiness on another thread, and M mentioned grandchildren. To my great shame I have always assumed mine (autistic) will not have them. I wonder now if that is in some way bigoted of me. I feel challenged (in a good way!) about my attitude. What do you think?

My hope is that DS (now 14) will one day say 'Mum, Dad, you've been great, but Mavis (or Marvin!) and I are setting up shop together. Buzz off, but don't buzz too far'. But grandchildren? Whoa! Just for him to have a special someone would be fab and I would go off intom a corner for my nervous breakdown.
To those still at the What If stage which I gave up a long time ago - I well remember the day I got chatting to a teller in my bank to find that her daughter was born on the same day in the same hospital as DS. She was a breech and delivered by C-section directly before DS was delivered by C-section with severe hypoxia. She, of course, is NT. What If our ops had been carried out in reserve order, where would I be now?
Thems the druthers.

yes maybe
He has aspergers dx
I don't know... maybe ...like his father and his grandfather...(both somewhere on the spectrum i would say..grandfather more so)
Plus he's absolutely gorgeous ...really handsome... (but has no idea that he is)...that's gotta be a bit of a draw i reckon.
It would have to be one hell of a woman to cope with his quirks. I hope (if it does happen) that it's later rather than earlier in his adulthood.
