Are you a first-born child or otherwise ?

Middle child
1 Older brother (2 years)
1 Younger Sister (2 years)

First born with two younger brothers.

I'm 8th of 10 children. At least 3 of us are ASDers (the 6th or 7th [twins, and I don't know which one was born, first], me (the 8th), and the 10th - all girls. The woman who raised me (maternal aunt) had it, I'm sure (undiagnosed), and she was second-born. My biological mother had it, I'm sure, and she was 4th-born. Also, I'm sure my maternal grandfather had it (again, undiagnosed); but, I don't know what number he was (I don't THINK he was first-born, but I couldn't swear to it). I have a nephew who was second-born (well, really, THIRD born----first child died), and I'm sure he has it. I have another nephew who was first-born, who has it (undiagnosed). I have another nephew that was first-born who has it (undiagnosed). I don't really know my great-nieces and nephews, but since it has run so rampantly in my family, I'm sure there's a few in that generation, too.

So, let's see..... I think that's 5 generations with, possibly, only 2 first-borns.

I am an Aspie & have 11 children. Here is the breakdown:
1st: male, NT with speech delay & Asperger's traits
2nd: male, NT
3rd: male, ADHD
4th: male, NT
5th & 6th (twins): female, passed away age 4 mo, SIDS
male, NT, ADHD
7th: male, Asperger's
8th: female, NT
9th & 10th (twins): both female, one NT with aspie traits
one NT
11th: male, Regressive Autism, severe

First off fix the poll!

This is how it reads on my end, So I'm not sure if voted correctly.

Yes,I am my mother's first-born or only child
Yes,I am my mother's first-born or only child
No,my mother had at least 1 child before me
No,my mother had at least 1 child before me

It should read:

Yes,I am my mother's first-born
Yes,I am my mother's first-born and only child
No,my mother had at least 1 child before me
No,my mother had at least 1 child after me

I am my mother's and father's first born child.
My mother has two children by my first step father.
My dad has two children by my step mother.
I am also the only boy.

I was the first child of my mother and in my health certificate it is written that my weifgt was 2150 g and body lenght 53 cm. Brother was second child and had 3600 g and 57 cm. Sister had 2650 g and 53 cm and for me appears to be somewhat similar to me, unlike brother. All children had 10 points in Apgar scale and were born on time. My head circumference (and my sister's) was 32 cm, my brother's was 35 cm.
