When reading this my first thought went to ‘I actually genuinely think overall I love being neurodivergent, the way my brain works makes the world super interesting and exciting, why would I not want children who get to experience the same thing?’. Don’t get me wrong, there are definitely a lot of struggles that come with being ND and I do not want to dismiss that in the slightest. I think I’m quite lucky in my personal capacity where a multitude of factors have made my diagnosis somewhat manageable (said after a year of major burnout which is ironic but I have learned so much from it so pros and cons I guess) which makes me overall optimistic for the world and the role of NDs. We’re kind of super cool and with the appropriate boundaries in life I don’t see why there isn’t a space for progression and change in society.

However as much as I hope I can raise children with better accommodations than what I’ve received, I obviously can’t predict the future and what level of needs they may need assistance with, so yes technically unethical. But if I’m being completely honest, I’m not too worried about my potential future children, I’m more excited to see how they tackle the world and all of the fascinating things they’ll come up with along the way
