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.
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.
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 ...
