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.
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.
Wow, birthmark in the eye. Sounds cool
