I know I have talked about this to Doug and Sheena before. I am strongly
biased towards the idea the birth trauma was a contributing factor in
Justice being diagnosed with PDD(mild autism). I feel encouraged that in
most ways he is not tactile defensive (tags bother him in his clothes,
but he loves textures and snuggling and cuddling.) I would be more than
willing to participate in any studies regarding prematurity and links to
autism.
