    Family history of disability is not a necessary prerequisite of having a disabled child, though.

      It’s not necessary but personally if I knew my family had a history of any disabilities I’d never have kids. I know there’s a base level of chance to begin with but being okay with a higher chance, especially if the disability is prevalent enough to be known about, is incredibly selfish.

      And you tell your child when they’re suffering from a life long birth defect/disability that you knew there was decent a chance they would end up trapped like that.

      I’m sure that will help them feel better and the rest of their life coping will be so much easier!
