    I mean, that sounds like it’s should be self-evident but sometimes people are stretched too thin by the nuclear family or even single parent expectations of Western society to realize they can’t do it on their own. Worse, the expectation of one parent per child means if you don’t have existing family, you don’t have a chance at being a parent unless you give up your life.

    To be fair, it seems that all too often a baby with these issues turns out to have a genetic issue like Autism which is the source of their distress rather than anything the parents can relieve.
