Do you have trouble piecing together sentences?

Post Reply New Topic

I don't know if it is just me, but do any other aspies have trouble making their sentences make sense?

Being a regular forumer on many forums it gets quite fustrating over time... I'm writing a reply/thread and i get to a point where i think what i've written doesn't make sense and i can't think of a good way to make it.

Happens to me all the time, often I have to abandon the idea of replying at all or make severe changes to my post. I mess up a lot this way in real life too.

Sometimes, it's much worse when I have to do it on the fly in a conversation.

Yes, I have this problem in forums, emails, person-to-person, and on the phone.

Yes I wish I was better at expressing my ideas in English my mother tongue. My sentence construction is pretty weak.

Yes, yes I do.

It also sucks because I always have a good topic in mind, but it always comes out a mess.

Its good to know that there are other people on the same boat.

Only when Im nervous. Which is about 80% of the time when talking to people other than my family.

I have trouble with anything that relates/pertains to language; people say I get along well enough; it's taken me a lot of work over the years to overcome my difficulties in reading, writing and speaking. I put work into it and I seem to have gotten something out of it, i.e., the ability to communicate my point "adequately".

I stop...then start again, I don't bother with backspace; I try and make it as "real" as possible when I type, it's all practice to me for "out there" in person where I'm...pretty damn bad at communicating to nearly everyone.

I'm an "autie" with the whole verbal impairment thing (my verbal IQ is below average).

Sounds like a working memory problem. Working memory is short term memory you preform some secondary operation on. It would be like level 1 cache on a CPU. Which is relatively expensive and small on most CPUs.

Its possible standard ADD/ADHD medication could help and/or off label use of some Alzheimer's drugs.

I want to make an online working memory test but I have been
too lazy to do it. It could provide a real number for people to compare each others cognitive problems with. I would make a
math ,English and spatial one.

Somehow yes, although english is not my natural mother tongue, I have to recognize sometimes people said to me that I speak (in spanish, my mother tongue) like a 'sioux', ...

Women should make sure they get enough iron.

Im not very gud at makin sentences whilst im writin aswell as talkin as i find it hard 2 put tings together.

A common experience for me, confusion due to a misunderstanding or interpretation of the request. I lost my last job due to an ingoramus that could not understand what I and my three previous managers told him about the task that was assigned to me.

The mutton head refused to even attempt to understand my differences in the interpretation of his request. I need specific goals, not arbitrary, unsupportable ignorant instructions that conflict with reasonable and ethical considerations.

alot of people say that i talk cryptic and indirect

I do just fine while typing or writing, its the verbal communication that I had more difficulty with forming sentances, i screw up almost as much as I do it correctly.
