I have ADHD/executive dysfunction/autism or something that makes it difficult for me to operate in my daily life, like keeping things clean/errands. Also I like being on the computer a *lot*, and fucking off on adventures. Has anybody like me had kids and not regretted it?

But do you really have any of those syndromes or is it self-diagnosed? Because I've notice on the internet a lot you young women who think they have autism simply because they have some weird quirks and think that makes the more interesting....

ignoring diagnosis or what you call it, I have significant difficulty functioning according to what most people consider 'normal standards' in life

Yes but that is a bit subjective and difficult to grade without professional analysis. I'd say a LOT of people would fit in your description or a similar one, myself included. My point is that just because you feel weird or different from other people doesn't mean you have autism

So you're unconventional. Sometimes I think of myself as aspy/auty or the like, but most days I'm happy with the description: unconventional.

There's a distinction between unwilling and uncapable. I think that's the question.
