    In all seriousness, I think a lot of us choose not to procreate. I had my kid before I got diagnosed, and I don’t know if I would choose to reproduce knowing my diagnosis. Thankfully, so far my kid seems fine, just neurodivergent.

      I have horrible depression and ADD and just general overall neurosis. My entire fucking life has been miserable, I cannot even think of any reason to pass on these genes unless I want to torture someone.
