Having a child with special needs has not affected my decision to have more children, I have four children, my oldest turned 5 in May, she has a rare chromosome abnormality as a result she has global developmental delay, very minimal and unclear speech, still in nappies, mild hearing loss, sleep apnoea and a range of medical issues that are currently under control - she has a full time aide at kinder and will also have one in prep when we decide on a school. My second and third born have got congenital heart disease, my forth born is healthy. We are maybe considering just one more, maybe.
Yep, having a SNs child has definately influenced my decision about more kids. I only have one child who has severe ASD, non verbal and intellectual disability and ADHD and he is enough of a handful without having anymore
