You mean the same risks anyone else has when they have kids?

Why do you classify all mental disorders as suffering?

not as high of risk, they’re intentionally going out of there way to give them disorders

That depends a LOT on the parents on what the risk factor is. So no the risk isn’t actually that much different. And again having a disorder is not inherently a bad thing

i bet that 90% of people when asked if they would rather be cured of their illness or stay the same would cure it on the spot

For a lot of them it’s more accurate to say society makes it harder for them to function. It’s a different way the brain can be wired, not a sickness. And frequently can actually be a benefit there’s a reason people in higher education have higher rates of neurodivergence. You’re just advocating for eugenics for the sake of a made up idea of convenience

Not an illness. And your baseless bets mean nothing this is an appeal to popularity. Yknow, a fallacy

And people not going to a sperm bank run the same chances. So why aren’t we talking about how absurd it is that people are just having kids without the sperm banks deciding which kids get to exist?

it’s not a “made up idea.” i’ve seen people take their lives or become shut ins due to their illnesses. obviously there are some people who can function with it, like every illness. just because you like ur adhd cause you think it makes you quirky doesn’t mean everyone else does. i think sperm banks should have the best sperm quality, why would you want a kid to suffer. if that makes me pro-eugenics than sure

Except frequently it’s not actually about their neurodivergence. It’s how they’re treated because of it. For example sick fucks like you calling people ill because their head doesn’t work like yours. Or again YOU using stereotypes to demean people based on their neurodivergence or even just perceived neurodivergence. Instead of asking better of society you want to treat people like dogs. That’s pathetic and you have no real defense for it outside of your feelings and your “bets”

it’s called a mental ILLNESS. so it is not wrong to call them ill. its not like people treat them a way because they are neurodivergent, they treat them a way because of how their mental illness affects their actions. it is harder for people with mental illnesses to act “normal” in a society. yes it is partially the NT’s fault, but they are just reacting in a way that IS the normal reaction. you are acting like i am hitler or the antichrist for wanting the best life for all children

No it isn’t, the term mental illness has been phased out for years in favor of mental disorder and even that one is being slowly phased out for the same reason mental illness was phased out. Because these people are not inherently sick. You’re dunning kreugering yourself and frankly you should stop before you embarrass yourself more.

And neurotypicals do not exist because there is no “normal” way for the brain to work. There are the socially accepted ways but those aren’t inherently better or normal to claim they are is an appeal to authority, another fallacy. You do not know enough about what you’re talking about.

I really don’t care to be honest, you are being cruel to the children. Making it purposely harder for someone to properly function in society is cruel. I hope you are sterile

Says the eugenicist. You want a cruel society and you blame neurodivergent people for existing in it.

That is not for a sperm bank to decide. Your choice in donor should be without the oversight of these clinics they are there to give you the choice not to control the choice.

I don’t blame them for being the way they are. I just think someone with a lot of mental disorders should not intentionally pass them on to their children

Same logic racists used to sterilize black people btw. I want a world that won’t punish people for being different. You want to make sure different doesn’t exist.

Then go find a partner to have children with instead if sperm banks are evil

Well I think society would function better if people like you didn’t exist. Mostly because it would. But also because you’re an asshole

It’s not tho lmao. Disorder, sure, but not “mental illness.” Also fascinating how fast you went from “the neurodivergent themselves will suffer from their neurodivergence, I want the best life for all children” to “society would function better without those mentally ill freaks” 🤔🤔

What if you, knowing the child has a higher chance of neurodivergence, are able to give them the extra support they need to thrive?

I'm assuming OP meant that they wanted to be the recipient, and for the donor to be similar to their partner in as many ways as possible

Sociology would explain this if you’re interested. Maybe look into conflict theory and labeling theory in the sociology of mental health. Societal structures breed mental illness more so than genetics, signed a psychology and sociology major.

Ok, but even if society suddenly loved autistic/generally neurodivergent people, I would still suffer from painful tic attacks bc of Tourette’s, I would still have meltdowns where I injure myself, and I would still experience sometimes debilitating effects from special interests. Yes society does make things harder, but a lot of people seem to have gotten an idea of autism as just being a little weird instead of being an actual disability outside of just getting judged sometimes
