Yeah, it does suffer but we make a conscious effort to find the positive things in our relationship and life.

No, I do not have any children of my own. I am thankful for that because my ex-wife apparently was also autistic but not diagnosed until after divorce. On my maternal side of the family all of us kids inherited some form of severe depression through my brother was schizoaffective. I survived, found good treatment that left me feeling like myself with a clear mind. My brother on the other hand was tortured by his demons and ended up taking his life a couple of years ago.

Not having kids was a conscious decision because I didn't want to take a chance of spreading the family curse to the next generation
