Is this an AS trait

Post Reply New Topic

I have one good NT friend, and i have devised our own special language that only we understand. Some words are pronounced backwards, some words are pronounced as they are spelt, some words have a connective meaning for example Arnie means big because of Arnold Shwarzenegger so big banana would translate to arnie ananab. There are many more words that we use that we have collected from our own personal experiences to make up our own language. Is this is an AS trait?

I don't do that, but according to Wikipedia, yeah, it's an aspie trait:

My sister and I have a special language, but it really isn't a language as much as it's just adding the "ee" sounds to the ends of things to make them sound cuter. Like, hellodee for example.

Thinking about it, possibly. I know of two people who've made their own languages, one of whom is probably an Aspie, and I'd not thought about the other. But he certainly has traits, thinking about it.

I do like to switch the syllables/letters of words around to make them sound "nicer" for me:
Pencil - cempil
Gunpowder - pundowger
Statue - tatsoo

But I hardly ever use them except around family.

I call cats "tikkens"--a reversal of "kitten". But I call them "cats", too... most people don't understand "tikken".

I must admit i did see the description in Wikipedia otherwise i would not have considered this to be a trait,i have only recently found out about AS so i am still trying to sort out which is me and which is AS.

At age 14-15 I went through a period of spelling words backwards. I could do this in my head - by imagining them - and I'd have fun mentally prouncing them. As I recall, I applied this to whole sentences eventually. My phase didn't last more than a year or two, but I can still do it with ease.

We cannot speak fluently discussing everything rather these are broken phrases and sentences and we do have to revert back to the norm.So it is a mix of made up language and normal language, it is still impossible for any other person to understand what we are saying because there is no set pattern with the words.

Let's not forget the old George Carlin contribution: "Hey, that's near-fetched"!

My handwriting was atrocious at school and was sent to remedial handwriting class. Following this I used to write words in my head compulsively, so I would here or say a word and be writing it in my head, weird eh? My handwiring improved though.

Was J.R.R. Tolkien an aspie? He spent years creating an entire world and invented at least one language, elvish, and I'm not sure but possibly others.

There are invented languages created by NTs, so I don't think it's purely an aspie trait. Let me give you a few examples.

For instance, there's Newspeak in 1984 by George Orwell. The Inner Party, who created Newspeak, had to be NTs and not aspies, since they were extremely cruel and conceited.

There's also Nadsat in A Clockwork Orange. It's heavily based on Russian, Cockney rhyming slang, and a few other languages. The hooligans who made up and used the language bullied virtually everyone they saw, which also means they were NTs.
