I was a calm baby, I didn't cry that much and I didn't need another person's entertainment.

I didn't have a social smile and I sometimes had exagerated facial expresions or just expressionless.

I had problems to follow instructions and to follow rules, I always got in trouble for this one.

My reaction with other children apart from my close family approached me was mostly walking away or hitting them.
