Children

RE: Children
If you're willing to take care of your kid, and identify all resources required for him/her to have a good quality of life, I'd probably say it's OK. At all the Spina Bifida Association conferences I'd ttend until they cancelled them after Minnesota 2016, there were tons of parents of SB folks amongst the conferencegoers. Some able-bodied folks can be jerks to us, but many are committed to learning how to be inclusive.

But then, I only know SB. I don't know MS, MD, mast cell disorders, Ehlers-Danlos, or other issues. But there's tons of stuff being done in the name of QOL (quality of life), surgically and otherwise. So living with it is fine, but parenting a disabled kid while I have a disability myself is a bit overwhelming. But as I inferred earlier, I don't want kids either way. I just don't like most of them.
