I was born with a birthmark on my scalp, originally as a baby it was a small hole to my brain which scabbed over and remains hypersensitive. I've recently finally got my autism diagnosis at the age of 29.
I was wondering if anybody else with autism has a similar birthmark on their head.
I also have ptsd and depression but that's more to do with trauma from childhood rather than something i was born with.
I can close my ears inside (a hospital doctor said I was the only person he'd seen do this) and have had a nose bleed through my eyes ...
I have been reading people's replies just to learn all the differences
Nothing very similar, but up to being about 45 years of age I could suck air through a small hole in the roof of my mouth. It was never commented on by dentists, so it must have been very small. I presumed that the hole communicated with my nasal passages in some way.
Sounds like a terrible hardcore punk band
Wow, birthmark in the eye. Sounds cool
OP. Some scars do accumulate or lose pigmentation but that isn't the same thing as a birthmark, which I believe does in fact have to be there literally from birth, hence the name.Former Member I thought I didn't have any, until I went for an eye test where they look right through to the back of the eye wall, and it turns out the thing that I thought was a heterochromia is actually a birthmark in my eye.
I do, near my crown. Is slightly textured and raised (yuck) but otherwise unremarkable. Not sure it means anything though
No birthmarks here but my scalp sure looks like a mountain range due to many accidents when I was a kid. Once because my big brother liked rough play and second from running down the hill, can't remember how I got the third.
Welcome here! trauma and PTSD for me too. I'm 30.
