Early Childhood Head Injury

Post Reply New Topic

Same here. I had two early childhood head injuries that I know of and likely others I don't remember or wasn't told about. I fell head first out of my crib onto a tile floor before I was even a year old. Then, when I was about a year and a half old, I was standing in a grocery cart, leaned over the edge, and fell head-first onto concrete. I was not knocked out either time. Both times I was taken to the emergency room, and both times the doctor said I had a "mild concussion" and that it was nothing to worry about. This happened in the 80's. My neurologist said it is very likely my ASD and multiple other conditions are related to this, because they didn't understand brain injuries as well back then. I have ASD, dyscalculia, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and problems with anger, logical reasoning, short-term memory, and very slow processing speed.
