For those who did a speech course did you mention your AS?

Post Reply New Topic

I know someone here said they discussed there Aspieness in a speech course and doing that went well. I've already done a paper "Aspie" and mention my AS in another course and thirdly that a character in a class story seemed Aspie. I also thought of mentioning family issues which have been mention in many past posts. Perhaps though talking of how your mom calls you a Rude b***h and threatens to kill or backeract you is too much. LOL! Perhaps that's getting too personal. I'd go into detail on MY behavior which lead to said comments.

i would say hell yeah do it.
i was undiagnosed while in school so i cant comment from experince in that sence but being a subject that u are interested in and knowledgeable about makes putting together and giving a speach or lecture a lot easier. the only probjem then becomes thinning it out to fit the time alotted.

I did not know I had AS when I was second grade when I had to go to speech therapy. I was a real brat towards the therapist. She was always grabbing me by the chin trying to force me to make me make eye contact. She would also put peanut butter on her bare finger to put behind my front teeth to get me to make the th sound. The first time was the last I tried to bite her finger off. My special education teacher told her not to touch me because I liked to smack and kick to avoid contact. She always had to learn the hard way.

My parents described me as being very Tasmanian Devil like when I was little and confronted with strangers.

Yes. Last semester in college, I gave a presentation on autism to my speech class. Here's the video if you're interested.
