I don't remember when I was growing teeth. But I remember being in pure agony when my baby teeth would get loose and fall out. My grandniece was in so much pain when growing teeth that she would run a fever and my niece would get worried and call the pediatrician. Apparently this was normal and my grandniece is NT. But I remember being around six and my mom calling the doctor asking if I could take Tylenol because I was in so much pain from loosing teeth. Is this a normal thing for autistic children?

I remember it being quite painful for both me and my NT brother.

I was lucky; losing my baby teeth really wasn't all that painful.

I don't know about when I was "teething."

Looking baby teeth wasn't a problem. The only issue I had is I couldn't stop plying with the loose teeth.

"Teething" I think I was pretty average. But I'd have to check with my mother lol
