Were you early to walk, talk, etc?

My mom said I was early to walk and talk, and noticed after a few months that I was less responsive than the average child at that age, I think. She also said that others commented on my (lack of) eye contact.

I was early to talk but late to walk. I have videos of myself at the age of 2.3 years struggling to walk across the dining room without falling over.
As far as talking, I could speak in full sentences by the age of two, although they may not have been perfectly clear though
In the videos of myself I noticed that I was not giving eye contact as well and not responding to my mother.

Me too! Early to talk, late to walk...My mom said I skipped the baby talk..one of my first words was "energy"
My mom was concerned a bit with my flimsy motor skills.

Talked and walked early.
Didn't crawl, just stood up one day.

I was the total opposite of all of you, thats probably why I got the diagnosis of HFA, I didn't walk until about 2, non-verbal until the age of almost 4!

Early to talk (vocab of a college student at 4 years), late to understand what the **** i was talking about...

I too skipped crawling. I just rolled around until I could stand up.
Maintained the usual schedule for the rest of my development, though.

My parents said I was "on the run" early in life and that I talked early, too. I was also very interested in books and reading at an early age.

oh yeah...and when I was 3 or 4, I crawled around alot, but that was because I was the baby elephant from the Jungle book...or else Mowgli imitating the elephants in the Jungle book.

I had seizures as an infant, so I walked slightly later. On the other hand, once I started talking, I talked a lot. What's unusual is that the seizures stopped when I was about 2, but my brain was already wired to be an Aspie.

yep! Walked and talked early.

And my daughter too. She was walking around the furniture at 6 mos and running through the mall at 10!! ! She was talking at 8mos.+ and had a full vocabulary by the age of 2.

Walk--- Average kid 12 months
Talk--- Average kid 24 months

I did both in 9-10 months

My mother sad I never babbled, and was always easy to understand.

I was walking at 15 months and I said my first words at 18 months.

I did both early. Don't know exactly when because my parents didn't care to keep baby books or remember those things.

My daughter was speaking very well at two, and now at four she is much like the "little professor" children described by Asperger. It's startling and cute at the same time. She walked the week before her first birthday.

bou'tit

Walk: 9 months
Talk: uh...? I'll ask my mother. I said my first word at 7-8 months ("nana"); 2-3 words at a "normal" age (2-3), my first [odd and grammatically incorrect] sentence [with tongue thrust] when I was 5, which speech therapy fixed -- both of them

I rarely spoke my mother said, I could utter a sentence as the episode at 5 showed the world, I just didn't "talk" up until that point as it took an emotional event to break the "barrier".

Walker rather than a talker. Still am.
