NVLD, CP, Epilepsy, possibly AS. Had dysgraphia until 8.


What is that?


Wikipedia explains it a bit better than I can at the moment: Dysgraphia

I had/have motor dysgraphia, although I had a lot of therapy as a child and can print reasonably well; I still prefer to type, and I don't do much cursive at all.

I was upside down so they had to perform a C-section. Because of that I was born a few days later than expected.

I have AS and was born 12 days after my due date. Fine by me, June is warmer than May anyhow :) I was just waiting for better weather.

My daughter has AS and was born pretty much right on time, a couple days early.

My son has PDD-NOS and was born at 41 weeks, all 10 pounds of him.

My PDD-NOS-ness was late and heavy, at a pay-load of 10lbs 8ozs.

mom had, and the doctor was going to have to break my shoulders.

My Mom was two months premature, she was born up north near Fort Chipewyan, on the Athabasca river, this was in 1926, they kept her in a shoe box on the oven door to keep her warm, my mom was alway sickly, and nearly died a few times in childhood

I was just a little bit premature, a few weeks i think. But I'm not sure at the moment, and I don't think I will bother to ask how early i was.

I was born late, and with the cord wrapped twice around my neck. XD I was small as well, smaller than normal (pity I didn't stay that way, weight wise. >>), and almost half as small as my next-smallest sibling. My younger brother - he was wearing the clothes I wore at three at six months. =____= I've got HFA.

I hadn't realised there are so many more aspies than auties on the site. Or are people with HFA just not voting? XD
