I have to tell you having an autistic child is like having four children right there.

So I really am not sure how she manages or will manage with a child that is Autistic and 13 other children...especially with 8 of them being the same age.
Autism is a spectrum disorder. Not all kids with autism are like having 4 kids.
My second oldest has autism along with a genetic disorder, and my 4th has a heart condition. Doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to have more children.
I don't think anyone knows "how she will do it". Sometimes you just take things day by day. I don't like how it all went down with her having all the kids, but it isn't my business. Since she has such a strong desire to be a mother of many children, I am going to give her the benefit of the doubt that she is going to try her best to be a good mother. I see a ton of people with one or 2 kids that I think shouldn't be parents. I see parents on here say things that make me think they shouldn't be allowed to have more kids, but that isn't my decision to make.
