Yup. My twin sister and I were born about 7 weeks early. I spent some serious time in an incubator.

Well, guess what people, I was also born prematurely but it was caused by something else which I don't want to talk about now.

Asthma, blood pressure: They say I'm allergic to cats but I don't really notice it in my daily life. Yes I have high blood pressure unfortunately, I know this since years, when I was diagnosed.
I would say that my vision and hearing is OK, I don't know about mental health issues either. Shyness, relationships, well... I always say this depends on two people at least, not just on me. IQ: I've taken an official IQ test, according to Mensa Hungary (the only official IQ testers in Hungary), my IQ equals the Japanese average, if I base it on this Forebears article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/duncanm...-in-the-world/ ; I think that's okay.

Motor skills/Coordination, I think it's average. Income/Education: I can't say that I have problems with these either, I will start my second year at the university this year. Drugs, alcohol:
Risk taking: it depends on the situation and on my mental state, but usually I don't like taking risks (especially if I know that I can fail, big time).
Dyslexia/Dysgraphia: nope (no dyscalculia either, personally I know 3 people who have that). In their case it's so severe that they are adults now and most of them still can't understand the difference between 0.5 and 0.05 for example.
