Does anyone know if Aspergers can be linked at all to premature birth? I was about two weeks early. I had some other problems like low birth weight, short stature and mild speech impairment. I was never told about any other effects, although I have a long list of traits which seem to fit into the Asperger realm, which I had previously listed here:

It was only 1966 when I was born, so there was no such diagnosis then. But now as an adult, I'm recognizing a lot of things that never made much sense to me before. Is Aspergers the best answer or something else? I've also had more anxiety, depression and OCD as I've gotten older (formal diagnosis and medication).

My son was 10 weeks early and has high-functioning autism. However, his autism is linked to my genetics, so I don't know how to answer your question.
