I cant tell. yes I realize that it is not medically recognized as of yet. But the reason I say it is because my condition was from year one to 18. Lucky I was loved conventionally up till then. But I was hospitalized with Spinal Meningitis at 6 months and broken collar bone at 11 mos, so who actually knows? Because of this I can't possibly know which came first. I thought perhaps it was a protective mechanism. Thanks for the input
