I'm 16 and was born with TOF I was delayed in learning at birth I didn't speak until 14 months and was tested many times for autism, although for me the tests were negative but it is believed that the lack of oxygen at birth can stunt learning abilities in people diagnosed with TOF. I wish your child the best.

my son is now 13 and was born with TOF with Pulmonary Atrasia.He had similar delays growing  up but eventually caught up.He didnot have surgery until he was 7 since this wasnot available where we lived at the time.He still has afew challenges and still is physically slower than the average teen.He is in special education due to the effect of the language delay on his writing skills.He however is a typical teen and is always very happy and appreciative of everything in life.
