Is this a normal AS or spectrum issue?

(Got the following from the site above I copy/pasted the part I wanted to mention)


Marguerite was also reading her answers without eye contact or inflection. “My favorite vacations were to India and Thailand my favorite thing about myself is that I’m nice to people if I could choose any superpower I’d be invisible,” she said in an unbroken stream.



I tend to write like this in as it's called "an unbroken stream" is this normal for us? Or does my grammar just suck? LOL! (BTW sorry for all the bad grammar I've had as I'm sure this post has bad grammar LOL!)

I don't know if it's an AS trait. But I know my diary is full of "unbroken streams" like that.

That was an interesting article. It brought up a lot of good points.

About the grammar, I even think with correct grammar and puncuation. I can't even bear to read things that don't use puncuation. I skip over them. Definitely not an unbroken stream like that.

I used to have poor grammar in school. Teachers would always fuss over my lack of punctuation. I only tend to write in a 'unbroken stream' when I'm tired.

That is how people tend to think; not in organized sentences, but in an ongoing process. Catch 22 illustrates this "train of thought" idea. I never had an issue writing my thoughts down properly, but when my mind is very active, I wind up having alot of fragments that just don't fit anywhere, except perhaps bullet points. I thus usually think about things for a few days before writing about them.

i think if i had not been forced to do otherwise then i would. it is not really very good to read but if it helps the writer flow better then they should do it then edit it if needs be.

Oh I do write like this when I can sort of freewheel the operation.
An unbroken stream of words.
