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
. 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
, 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.
