I tried doing a search on WP but found no information on it, so im not sure if its related to AS or not.

Shortly after i was born and was still in the hospital before being taken home i had blocked tear ducts and the public nurse had to poke the tear duct with a wire to unblock the tear ducts. According to my mom i cried.

Has anybody else that is on the spectrum experienced blocked tear ducts as an infant?

it's not all that uncommon, and i don't believe it has to do with the spectrum.

A friend of mine just had a baby not to long ago which had a blocked tear duct when he was born. My friend is a nurse and she said it is not an uncommon problem for babies.
