If I got rid of everything that didn't "spark joy"...I'd be on the side of the road with the cat and my coffee maker.

Social services generally don't take kids away from their parents unless there's a hell of a lot of evidence that a the kids are being neglected or abused in some way. Locally social services have been involved with a single parent family for years- the mother regularly drinks so much she passes out drunk, she abandons her kids with neighbours to go out drinking and taking drugs, she has abusive boyfriends, and her eldest son has been in trouble with the police since he was 7 (including robbing someone at knife point with an older kid when he was only 10) and still they consider her a 'fit' parent.

Yup, it wudnt surprise me if stacks of aspies get their kids taken away, possibly even at birth...Oh PI, the fact that your son was 6 means that they wouldnt have suspected parents, it would have been when Dunc got diagnosed you could have had a problem. As for aspies getting taken away, i think i glanced a few articles where it has happened...you're just talking out of your butt. a few cases makes not a majority.Put it like this, people around me quite agressively attempt to persuade me not to have kids.what people are these?

your family members seem to be idiots. no offense.
i'm not saying having an aspie child is easy but the best people to care for them are usually aspies.
no.
