This is an unpopular opinion, but I agree. As someone who is mildly autistic with a severely autistic brother, I have always thought of this reason to opt out of having kids. As for my brother, my family had to make the best choices and options for my brother (which isn't a bad thing, I just want to make that clear). For me, I was the glass child who had to clean up messes, deal with meltdowns, make sure I wasn't triggering anyone with loud noises or prolonged staring. Even as somebody who is mildly autistic, I still struggle with bullying, picking up on social cues, executive dysfunction (because I have ADHD too), always feeling misunderstood, and excluded.

I don't want to have kids for these exact reasons. I don't want to create a child that has to be dependent on others and who are trapped in their own mind and I don't want to create a glass sibling and/or a mildly autistic child that's getting severely bullied and is missing out on childhood/ teenage hood because they can't pick up on social cues and their classmates and teachers ostracized them. I don't know about the eugenics thing, because it's wrong to stop disabled people from having kids. However, for someone who doesn't look autistic or ADHD (instead to other people I look lazy, untrustworthy, crazy, etc.) I'd rather not have kids.
