Yupyup. I tend to think in a mixture of visual images and an abstract 'resonance', and can sometimes take a while to convert these things to words.

verbally my language sucks, most of the time i spurt out phrases like where we going? or hello? over and over, other then that its just random words, a lot of echolalia or noises that some people don't think I have really anything ever intellegent to say :roll: . It ticks me off, we've had people tell jim and my family they were amazed i had actual real thoughts when i would text them or type them a msg 8O, like since my verbal language sucks doesnt mean that i dont have anything intellegent to say, yea know? In reality, i have sooo much to say but can't get any of it out. Is anybody else like that? where they have so much they want to say, but literally just can't :?:


Welcome to being Autistic! Whenever I write a piece out, people are absolutely blown away by my writing skills; if I even try and verbalize it, it's an utter disaster. I used to tell people "if I were to run against John McCain for political office, and we had an on-air debate, I'd lose in a landslide. If, however, I were to run, but write out my ideas, I could take out him and Obama in one fell swoop...."

For the most part, I just type stuff now; I talk a little bit, but try to keep it on the down low, whenever possible, cause I know I'm just not good at it.
