Why would my family treat me like I’m a burden?

[Anonymous]

All because I have autism traits they seem like they think I’m not capable of having children ever and that’s rude of them. Every family party when we bring up starting a family they don’t even look or mention or talk to me when they talk about starting a family. They say all my cousins name except for me. Why would they be so ableist to think I can’t have children because of my autism? I can be a great mom one day. What should I do about this?

Do you have autism traits or been diagnosed with autism? You mention having it and then having traits. I am by no means an expert in the medical field, much less so mental health.

They may be concerned depending on your level of autism. There also could be the concern of passing those traits along because I read that there is a strong genetic component and often will run in families.

No matter what their thoughts are, you can do what you want given your age.

I just have the traits and they believe I’m vulnerable when I’m not. I’m not fully autistic

So it’s strange to me that they are like Greg Wyatt

You specifically say "because of my autism". I have seen your other posts that happen almost daily where you say you are autistic. Your story keeps changing.

Greg Wyatt frequently lists things he says she will never do: live independently, hold a job, drive, go to college, get married, or have children of her own. He has written that this “breaks my heart and my family feels similar about me. So what should I do about this?

But I can do those things

I got re evaluated and they didn’t see that many autism traits for me
