If you had other unusual things, I'm not particularly interested in those. Just if you were particularly colicky or quiet.

Quiet, and I can say that's true because compared to my 3 NT siblings I was very calm and passive. In additioon I had reduced babbling compared to them.

I was quiet. My sister - who has ADHD as well, but not AS - was colicky.

I screamed and cried a lot as a baby but I had a tumor on my kidney so cut me some slack.

I was quiet, and I didn't even cry right away when I was born.

My parents say I was quiet; a 'good baby.' Was also quiet a toddler and... well, actually have always generally been that way.

i would throw a fit if i lost this certain specific pacifier. finally, my parents just put it on a chain so we wouldn't lose it again. i was told i would sit there and twist it in my mouth for hours.

I don't know, I can't remember much from back then. ;P

But seriously... I've been told that I learned things very quickly as a baby, and that I was talking before I could walk. When I was a toddler it was first noticed that I trouble processing some types of information, and that I often behaved in ways that generally aren't considered acceptable without realizing it. My parents refused to have me evaluated and gave me the "snap out of it" treatment, and that never really changed, but I'd better not get started on that.

I was generally a quiet baby... although I was drugged up for the first 1-3 months on seizure meds that made me sleep ALL THE TIME :wink:

From what I understand, I was generally a quiet baby. So my vote was---quiet baby ASD.

According to my mother, I had a colic once, but that was it... other than that I was relatively quiet, a tad quieter than my sister
