I came into the world on Jun. 17, 2009, surprisingly six weeks earlier than I was supposed to. Like most babies, I was screaming like a banshee (a very petite one).
Being born so early, I spent my first two weeks of life in the care of the Intensive Care Unit. I know that this may not have anything to do with me being on the spectrum but I thought I may as well mention that, as some medical experts think that premature babies are more likely to develop autism than those that don’t arrive early.
