What were you like as a baby?

Blank

(Alright, so I'm not one to start a new thread, but figured I'd give it a try.)

Just out of personal interest and curiosity: what were you like as babies? Did you show any ASD signs?

Because supposedly I didn't really, as far as I can find out now (I'm 44). Except for being not much of a happy baby or child and often restless and never wanting to go asleep. I apparently always wanted to stay up with the grown-ups. And apparently I was talking at a very young age.

I know as a four year old (and all throughout primary school too) they wanted to keep me to stay back in the same class for another year, because I was too childish, not because of developmental reasons.

I have a bit of a personal interest as I've got a 14-month old here that is very peculiar and specific about certain things (light needs to stay on in the hallway at night, very much into her books, wrapped up in her own world). She is reaching her milestones, but way ahead on speech.

Would like to hear about any signs you showed as a young child.

  • dunno i dont have anything to compare it to so id say i was like a baby.

    but i do have memories from being a baby, i remember knowing and understanding english in my head and wondering why i cant produce that through my mouth. i remember me trying to engraine memories in my head from then knowing i will forget, i remember being in my parents garden in a cot or seat thing and parents went into kitchen and some voice telling me things, like look after your mum, beware of your dad as hes a bit grumpy (and that was at a time he hadnt gotten to his grumpy phase and still had his mustasch which made him look funny and not as hostile) i dunno whos voice that was but im sure it came from nowhere. i must have been a easily managed baby as i could understand what was required of me and in my head i understood english.

    my memory is weird that i remember such long ago things beyond what i should be able to remember... but yet i forget things close by like where i left my keys! lol
