When I was a baby, apparently I kept salivating (like '''too much''') so my parents was kinda paranoid and took me to see a doctor LOL. and the doctor told me I would have self-eestem issues when I grow up ahahaha.
Also, my parents thought I had dyslexia when I was young because my learning progress was slow and I kept writing the mirror image of words or something. Turns out to be a false alarm tho yay
Yes. I think they still do.....
Yeah, they think I'm addicted to the internet.
I just ignore their Facebook messages nowadays.

Obviously addiction to the internet but that one's pretty much true. My mum used to try and convince me to come to church with her so God could 'help me with my troubles' so I could turn to him instead of the internet. That deterred me even more tbh.
my mum always jokes around saying that i genuinely need help and that im 'really special' and need to see a psychiatrist
a lot of the time i dont think shes accc joking though
does that count

ermm my mum, when i was younger, suspected that i had a lisp. but never got anything done about it ermm ye
i'm 18 now and only just started to say my Ss properly
they thought I could've had diabetes because I was fat and it ran in the family, but once I lost weight they never mentioned it again?? lol. They also suspected I was flat footed but then that turned out to be true so yeah. Now they think I'm underweight but the scales say I'm not sooo...
I kind of think of things that could be wrong with me rather than my parents picking up on anything. Like something will happen and it will cross my mind if I have some sort of illness or something. I don't even remember the last time I went to a doctors though.

My mum apparently thought I had like ADHD when I was younger and her reasoning for it was that I would sit there and beat box

I once found a notebook with notes my dad made on me when he spoke to someone about me. It was around year 6 and I think he was worried I had horrible social issues and wouldn't transition well to secondary school, but in actuality I was just addicted to Habbo.

Dad half joked about thinking I might have bipolar last year. They've also suspected something is wrong when it comes to emotional troubles or things I actually came down with (gastroenteritis and conjuctivitis for example).
- - - Updated - - -
oh also both parents joked about the possibility of me being bi a few weeks ago
My parents have.
I remember when I was in a very emotionally abusive relationship (I was the victim in the relationship), and I was at a point of suicide, and my parents waited for me to come home, and they had almost an intervention for me. It was eye-opening.

Yeah before the doctors found out I had a heart murmur my mother knew something was up so I was always in hospital for being sick and stuff. Also thought I had an internet addiction ;) I did.

My mother used to joke that I looked like a 'massive dyke' when I wore this one hat, look where that got her...
Mental health issues, which they were right to worry about.
My father thinks I have diabetes, high cholesterol, thyroid deficiency, heart problems; basically anything any family member has ever had, he'll find a way to link it to me.

I think all parents at times think there is something wrong when there isnt. Its just a parent thing. My mam thought i was crazy at one point :L I think it was just because i had to live with her husband. :L

My parents suspecte stuff of me all the time, whether it was problems with my health or things I'd done bad. ;)
I was better at hiding health stuff though but because the only words I could say when I was little were "Daddy did it", I got caught out a lot.
My nana and mum were the first to notice when I had bullimia and told me to get help so I did, but the help wasn't very good.
They did when I was always passing out and ending up in ambulances too haha, must be an instinct

Oh wait something else: sometimes when I do have stuff wrong with me my mum blames it on the computer. Like the time I fractured my wrist and it went undetected for a number of months, my mum just said all the typing I did put a strain on my wrist and that's why it hurt so much lol. And the time I first got the symptoms of my recurring blood condition she said I had a rash because I wasn't going outside enough because I was always inside on my laptop. :'(

Not really, the only time they ever suspected that anything was wrong is if I am stressing over something at school/college/uni or work.

I'm sure they have, but they've never said anything to me. :P
