I've always been so much more eloquent in writing. I can speak, in fact sometimes I talk a lot. But, my spoken word is often broken and chaotic. Sometimes I can't grasp common words, or it comes out in gibberish.
Examples, one day I was asking my boss how large she wanted me to make a specific advertisement. Instead of asking that, what came out was "How much big you want?" Or once trying to talk about fire hydrants. I could see it in my head, but not the word. I referred to them as "the yellow or red things that dogs pee on."
It makes me crazy. Not to toot my own horn, but I'm freaking brilliant. Why does this happen? Is this common in ASD? I always apologize and explain that sometimes the English language fails me. I've been like this as long as I can remember. Is this the answer?
