Why do all the other autism parents blow so much smoke up each others asses?

For the most part our kids are going to be nothing but a burden to us until we are literally so incapacitated by old age that we are both going be institutionalized.

Having spent my entire life trying to attain functional stability so that I could seek a partner and have offspring to carry on my gene line only to discover that my offspring are the end of my line is the most despairing, depressing element of my life.

I pretty much spend the majority of my time outside of working to earn money and caring for my kids trying to find ways to numb the emotional pain of knowing that my entire life effort is totally fucking meaningless.

How do you people keep up the delusion that allows you to act so fucking happy all the time?
