Aspies For Freedom

I had ear infections. And I hated baloons (couldn't really be around them anyway, since I have a propensity towards latex allergies.)

Are other medical issues in childhood also more common in people on the spectrum? I had kidney reflux and a bladder malformation, which had to be corrected with surgery, I was sick alot, and I had many mild food allergies (I got tested when I was 6 or 7 and the test said I was allergic to milk protein, chocolate, corn, sulphites, and tomatoes. I think I outgrew most of them except for the sulphites).

Hmm... I got sick more than most kids, but I wasn't out of school enough that I'd have issues with social skills because of that. Interesting.
