Don’t be scared! Or at least, not more scared than anyone considering parenthood! Autism will NOT make you automatically a bad parent. There are numerous autistic bloggers who happen to also be parents, and resources for disabled parents. We share them periodically, so keep your eyes out!
Some Autistic Bloggers who are parents include:
Morénike Onaiwu, who is an autistic Woman of Color who has both natural and adopted children, some of whom are autistic and some who are HIV+.
Judy Endow Is an autistic who is also a mother, though her posts tend to come from her experiences as an autistic with an MSW.
This facebook page is dedicated to being Autistic Parents.
And there are numerous facebook groups, many of them closed (you can’t see the posts if you aren’t a member) for autistics who are parents.
I’ll keep a look out!
There are also resources for disabled parents, the http://www.disabledparenting.com/
Followers, what resources do YOU like for autistic parents?
im really scared because when i get older i really really want children (my future wife and i will most likely adopt as well) but because i’m autistic i’m really nervous i’m gonna be a bad mother purely because of that, though i’ve been told that i have motherly qualities… but are there any blogs dedicated to parents who have autism since everything i see are dedicated to parents of autistic kids which makes me even more concerned?
