Have you had problems mentioned to you about your youth?

Nah, just lick.. well any table, actually, even if there was no juice.
I remember sticking a penny in an outlet once, as if it were a piggy bank. I didn't get shocked, ( At least, that I remember) but the whole wall became black. We pulled the penny out, and, nowadays, I look back and see the penny half... gone. It looked SWEET!

My father in a screaming rage" your f****d and you don't even know it".
Yah...nice parenting skills....

I remember that I used to smell people's hair...I was pretty weird but that was my thing. Certain people had really good smelling hair; others not so much.

I recall once I was having a really frustrating day and couldn't pay attention enough to anything to save my life and my mother got so upset and frustrated that she yelled "You're so stupid and you can't even tell!" Needless to say, that triggered a meltdown...lol.

I've forgiven, but apparently not forgotten. That particular memory brings back severe feelings of sadness....I was a pretty weird little kid.

I remember when I was really little I used to be facinated with anything I could climb. The shelves, stacks of boxes and buckets, window sills, trees... It scared my parents half to death, but I was always so scared of heights I couldn't go that far without freaking out anyway.

I used to climb all sorts of things too... I am also afraid of heights and I can still remember having to be rescued out of trees and even off the roof once. I don't remember how I managed to get up there. lol

I loved bugs....I use to have a pet stag beetle....it was beautiful.I tried to get a praying mantes for a pet but just as I was getting close to it with the glass jar....it turned it's head and looked me in the eyes... I dropped the jar ,I was so suprised.At recess,I use to build little forts and homes for bugs out of sticks,rocks,feathers,leafs.....

My mom recently told me I refused to eat ketchup as a kid and would put mustard on my frenchfries but I loved tomatoes.The odd bit is that I always remembered this being a quirk of my brothers,not me.The memory of him doing this was so clear,I was shocked when she said it was me.

I threatened to "beat-up" a guy from my 2nd grade because he was stepping on ant hills.....he won.(i blame that one the fact that I had to wear my "Brownies" dress to school that day....it's hard to fight when you feel like a "girl".

I could identify the title of a record album from the patter on the record.

I had a tendency to put things in my mouth. I bit my nails and chewed on pencils.

Ditto on the pencils - I could also idenitfy the track titles and the number of the track just by looking at the CD (i.e. That CD's the Greatest Mozart Hits CD. Track 1 is---, track 2 is---...etc.)

I was a very fast runner as a small child and fairly athletic. Old pictures showed me climbing things. As I grew older, I became less and less athletic. My mother said I was interested in books from a very early age. I think my interest in reading helped me greatly in school. I was very active and very hyper. Interestingly, Roger Bannister reported the same thing about his childhood.

I was verry agressive when i was young.
I would bite people and stuff like that.

I don't know if this qualifies as an actual problem, but my parents told me that I taught myself to read when I was 4. My parents taught me the alphabet, and the next thing they knew, I was reading a book by myself.

Pretty amazing effort for a 4 yr old. What age were you speaking?

8 months. By "speaking", I mean being able to say simple words.

Same for me. I scared Mum half to death.

When I was a little tyke I would just eat Herr's potato chips. I wouldn't eat anything else. When I went over to another child's house to play with a bunch of other kids, the parents (or some equivalent) asked me not to come back because I didn't socialize with anyone. This was very difficult for my mother.
