This certainly held true for my high-needs, fussy baby who is now almost 15.
He is autistic and bi-polar with lots of sensory issues.  There was
something "not right" with him from birth, always nursing, in arms or sling
and slept very poorly.  He was dx'ed ADHD at 4, autistic (Aspergers
Syndrome) at 9 and bipolar at 10.
