How were you as a baby?

Post Reply New Topic

I was a babbler and a tease according to my mother. Then I was real quiet when I was deaf and then tubes were put in so I was laughing again and smiling and runnign around, hyper, and teasing and saying single words.

I don't remember back to when I was a baby.

I don't remember either, but that's what my parents told me.

I do know that when I was a baby. My Dad and my Uncle were playing catch with me and my Dad ended up throwing me out the window for some reason. He was suppose to toss me to my uncle.(joke)

My ASD twin girls were very intense. They never cried - they just screamed. The didn't learn to cry until they were like three or four. Before that, it was zero to blood-curdling-shreik within seconds. Until they acquired language (which was delayed), they spent much of the day screaming and we had no idea why. It was a very bad time in our lives.

The girls (4 years old now) are still overly sensitive, but are much better.

I was extremely quiet.

Yeah I seldom cried. I also couldn't talk until after I was 3 years old.

I was a quite baby too. My mom said that I was a very 'serious' baby in that that I didn't smile. They said that they would pass me back and forth between the two and try to make me smile.

Now it seems that I can't stop smiling

I was a very trying baby (and then continued to be a very trying child). I was the exact opposite: I was always crying and throwing tantrums, the same as squaretail's daughters. I have always been very intense and hard to soothe. My mom said that I always used to cry around dinnertime. I'm thinking this may have been some sort of sensory issue. I don't know. I do know that I didn't sleep through the night until I was four and that, looking back, a lot of my tantrums and outbursts were most certainly based off of sensory issues.

I don't remember, but my mother says I was screaming my head off and hardly ever stopped, even at night. It was difficult to make me calm down. She was exhausted, along with everyone who took care of me. Maybe it was connected to the cerebral palsy.

my parents don't remember my first word, sort of tanks observations

I asked my mother and she said no, I was very quiet on the whole. But I hated being touched That's when I cried.

My mom told me I was an easy baby. I rarely cried and, in fact, was told that I even laughed a lot as a baby. I think most of my problems began when I started kindergarten. I was able to begin school at four because I knew all the answers to the questions, but I was immature in other ways. I don't know if my difficulties were actually do to AS or to being younger than other kids and starting school in a language other than English. (My first language was German.) I overcame the initial language barrier quickly, as I was reading at a fifth grade level in first grade.
