Are we born as apies or is it some thing that happens to us some time after we are born?

most of the scientific evidence points to most of us being born already having asperger's.

I was quite different even as a baby, so I'm sure I was born with it.
Also Asperger's runs in my dad's side of the family for many generations.

I was born with it and so was my son. I assume that it's somewhere on my mom's side of the family, so I've been trying to call my aunt to see if she can tell me.

Well, you can't just "get" it at such an age, so I would say yes

I'd have to answer yes to that question.

I'd have to answer a guarded yes. There are some neurological things that can happen after birth that either mimic autism or are forms of late onset autism. In that case, one could argue that they are born with it, but a traumatic brain injury could look very close to autism.

I believe I was born on the spectrum. I believe that the difficulties I've faced in this life have exacerbated some problems, an from a clinically analytical perspective pushed me along the spectrum. I am neurologically broken. Still going though

We're born on the spectrum. My mother noticed autistic/unusual behavior within the first six months after I was born (I did not like being held, for example).

Yes and no I think. It's classed as a developmental disorder

Quote:

Developmental disorders occur at some stage in a child's development, often retarding the development. These may include, psychological or physical disorders. The disorder is an impairment in the normal development of motor or cognitive skills that are developed before age 18 in which they are expected to continue indefinitely with.

specifically a pervasive developmental disorder

Quote:

The diagnostic category pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), as opposed to specific developmental disorders (SDD), refers to a group of five disorders characterized by delays in the development of multiple basic functions including socialization and communication.

and is strongly believed to have a genetic basis.
