New born resusitation

New born resusitation

Could you please give me more imformation on this subject? My son who is 18 now also has ADHD but besides that he shows signs of antisocial behavior and compulsive behavior. My water broke 15 hours before they gave me a c-section , He weighed 9lb.3oz. They never told me that he needed resusitation ,I found out many years later. They only told me he might have some kind of infection because my water had broke quite a few hours before. My son has always had low self asteem and kept to himself because he said no one liked him because he was different ,When he did make friends he picked the wrong crowed. He developed normally as a baby. They also said  that I had toxzemia while I was in labor .They told my husband that if I did not have the c-section when I did we both would of died. My question is could all of this caused long long term damage to my son? Thank You

No, there's no reason to think that most of the aspects of your son's functioning are related to the resuscitation that apparently occurred at birth. Cognitive functioning, including aspects of learning, can be influenced by oxygen deprivation, but it's not even clear that oxygen deprivation occurred.
