Does anybody know that if baby was not crying when she was born but the birth was ok and baby healthy, but just did not cry...is it sign of asperger syndrome?

I thought they smacked a baby to make it cry when it was born...

The baby should cry because his lungs are empty and he needs now oxygen to live.

In the anime Earth Girl Arjuna they said the baby doesn't cry if he is not pulled away from the mother.

I forgot to say, its to make it breath, not to inflict the pain of a smack from an early age...

I mean if baby is breathing and well and happy and everything is ok, but just no cry...what does it mean?

Nothing, I imagine.

We autistics cry as much as any NT, well, at least, I do.

See?

I understnad how ou would think the baby would be autistic. When I was a child, I did not speak very much. In fact, I was completely silent. I had no reason to speak. I had no problems, and I knew complaining was impolite (How did I know that as an infant? O_o). I also got everything I wanted without speaking or crying. I didn't speak until I was four years old, and then I sang.

I don't think it has anything to do with autism. In my experience, my HFA son and my probably HFA toddler were hysterical screamers as babies, and got easily upset and reduced to tears, as toddlers.

I rarely cried as a baby, I didn't seem to notice I was hungry etc.

Aparently I didn't really cry for food, etc like my sister did.

Most babies cry because their sudden introduction to the world comes as quite a shock!

I don't think it automatically means anything if a newborn baby doesn't cry.

I screamed non stop from 3 weeks on. I was DX'ed with an "immature nervous system". it improved at 7 months. Then i turned into a very "serious little girl".

I don't think you can read too much into a baby not crying entering this world. The only thing you can do, is track its normal developmental milestones, and see if at a year of age, it responds to its name being called out when no one is visable in the room. (Like from behind a couch). This has proven to be a very very effective early screening technique.

no crying as a baby can mean deafness or blindness as well, beucase babies cry with stimulation if they canot hear tehy will not know tehy are crying so they just dont. with total blindness tehy are confused into thinking tehy are still in womb (because darkness)

If the person is living much "in her own internal spiritual world" and not very interested in external wordly world is it "autism"?

I was thinking if not crying could be connected to that that person is so much in her own internal world that she does not notice much difference in her state when she comes to this world.

Not feeling very connected to physical world is that "autism"?


I like crying.

My daughter didn't cry and she is completely normal. She just took a deep breath and looked around in wonder.

I remember the moment like it was yesterday. (sorry, nastalgic mommy here )

i was told I didn't cry much as a baby..unlike my sister..or something like that...
I know i threw some pretty intense tantrums as a kid, because i remember having some of them.
