I was a odd adolescent but more on the autism side. Not officially an autist and probably never was, but I was insanely shy and quiet. I think a lot just to do with the environment around me and never necessarily feeling comfortable with myself when I was school age. Was bad enough with people my own age, and there just weren't that many people notably younger than me around.
I never wanted kids and never liked any kids for years. I do think the biological clock thing is legit though, as I could totally be in the mindset of maybe on the kids now. It wouldn't be a total no-go. I'm also really close with a couple of the kids in my family now. Like I love them to the point if someone did something to them I'd be right alongside their parents killing to protect them with no thought of the consequences. Being that a few years ago I wouldn't have even given them 5 minutes of my time, it's certainly a change.
