Mom told my then-psychiatrist that when I was a baby, I could sit up in my crib after my nap, smiling and content to just sit there. I knew who my mom was, but didn't feel any desire to call for her. She said that she once tested to see how long I would go without calling her; she gave up after a half hour!


I was like that too, and stayed that way throughout childhood. My mom says that I would sit and play quietly by myself for hours, literally--she could come back an hour or so later from a different part of the house and I would be in the exact same place.


To this day, I can spend hours on the computer.

Between infanthood and pre-adolescence, I was kind of all over the place, but in a way that couldn't be easily perceived by teachers, or anyone else who wasn't paying attention to me all the time. It was hard for me to focus.

I've been told by someone here on WP a while after Christmas about 5 years ago that I seemed to be very intense . I could see why. Everything about me changed in the beginning of 2007. I've long since gotten my feet back on the ground.
