My son, who also has AS, was home from college over xmas break and asked me a question I had thought about to myself before. I was not sure how to answer. He is obviously thinking about it

He asked if I had known I had AS and that they, my sons, had a good chance of developing AS would I have had any kids? Now my AS did not show up until I was about 35 and my twin sons were 4 years old by then so this was not a decision I faced. He however is 19 and it must have crossed his mind. You know I did not have a good answer for the question. I am not sure I would have had kids and yet I truly enjoy my sons but I cried when they were diagnosed with AS. He, and his brother, have some tough choices in life.

AS simply sucks
