Edit: I made a typo in the caption, it’s supposed to be told instead of should. I can’t change it. As a kid I always wanted a big family with at least 3 kids. Currently I’m not saying I don’t want kids, but since it’s not the time to have children I’ll leave that part up to the future and focus on other things. Because I’m diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome a psychologist told me it’s better not to have kids. When I asked her to elaborate because her statement didn’t have any fundament, her argument was that I might pass Asperger Syndrome on and I’m unable to emotionally support others, I don’t find myself in this description. It feels a bit out of place. I never had anyone tell me this except some weirdos who shout random shit, is a psychologist allowed to say this?
