[quote=Anonymous]I was tough as a baby/toddler. Colic, reflux, night terrors, motion sickness, frequent high fevers, lots of nightmares and fears and stomachaches. Probably would have been diagnosed with ASD, sensory processing disorder, and/or PANDAs if I were a kid today.

Now: fairly anxious but decently controlled. It helps that I have a lot more ability to structure my own life than I did when I was a kid. Perfectly fine eater and I was not unusually picky as a child either: I do have IBS and take some measures to control that. Above average intelligence. Never had issues with addiction or breaking the law, though I was a pretty grumpy/mopey teen. I finished college and grad school and am in a happy marriage. I get along well with my siblings.

I also have a decent relationship with my parents although I see how some of their own traits and how they interact with each other are problematic for them and their marriage, and have some more insight into how that affected me as a kid. I am not saying that OP is causing her kid to be difficult, but high-strung sensory sensitive anxious people often have kids who are the same way and may not know how to help themselves or their kids. That was definitely true in my family. But we made it through ok. [/quote]
