∙ 9y agoYes, of course people with Autism can be good parents. Autistic people are as likely to be good parents as neurotypical people, if they have Autistic children then they are all the better for them than neurotypical parents would be as they understand what it's like to be Autistic. As many people with Autism are bullied they can help children to deal with similar problems too.

If the person has a severe case of autism or a severe case of Asperger's Syndrome (another pervasive developmental disorder similar to autism), his or her social skills could be so impaired that he or she does not meet potential romantic interests.
If the person has a mild case autism or a mild case of Asperger's Syndrome, his/her social skills might not be affected very much. They could marry, just like every one else, or not.
It's the desire to socialize that makes an autistic person want to marry; you can be quite severely affected--enough to need an aide and a communication device--and still get married; or you can be quite independent and simply not feel the desire to marry.
Some autistic people are asexual--about ten percent of autistics, as opposed to about one percent of typical people--and prefer friendships or platonic relationships to romance.

∙ 9y agoA person can be mildly affected by autism at a specific point in their life, but there is no such thing as a 'mild case of autism' as you are either autistic or you're not. Provided that a person can function well enough to be able to have kids then there is no reason why an autistic person couldn't have kids, autism doesn't effect our reproductive systems.

∙ 11y agoEven regular autistics can get married, provided they find someone who can love and accept them as they are. Their memory and capacities for strong interests should make them highly preferable as mates. Unfortunately, many people only look at how they communicate, which is a kind of stupid method of judgement.
As to having children, anyone can, provided they have functioning, proper equipment, and a willing person of the opposite gender.

∙ 7y agoIn short, yes we Autistic people can live happy married lives and have children.
Most Autistic people I know are married and do have children, some are married to other Autistic people whereas some are married to allistic people. Being Autistic does not stop us from forming romantic relationships or from being able to care for our children.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoYes. In fact, it is much more likely, because autism is genetic. My parents are both autistic; they had three daughters, and two of the three of us are autistic.
