I asked my parents what I was like as a baby. They said I was the perfect baby, and never cried. Was anyone else like this?

I cried a lot as a baby and I haven't stopped yet.

She said I cried a little the first day or two, because I was in pain. But after that, I didn't cry. My grandparents thought there was something wrong with me because I wasn't fussy.

I never cried, not even when I was born. I was born suffocating.

I've been marked from the day I was born. :\

I have absolutely no idea. This is something I never thought to ask my mom, and she never commented on it either way.

I would imagine I didn't cry much since I was born with a tied tongue. It wasn't fixed until I was about 7 months old.

I only cried when I was picked up, or if people got too close.

I had a very distinct high pitch wail which got me the nickname 'Gallah' from my siblings.
Apart from crying I didn't make a peep.

My mom said I was "perfect, and never cried".

Oddly enough, things such as that are why she refuses to acknowledge that I'm Autistic.

According to my mother, only when I was hungry or needed my diaper changed. I didn't cry to be held.

I was a very easy child. I wanted to be held a lot.
