I am utterly bemused and confused regarding this resurrection...whatever was the point? :?

Necromancer, why not just start a thresh thread rather than raising the dead?

Do you also dig up dead relatives to try to carry on conversations from when they were alive rather than simply finding someone else to strike up a new conversation with?

As far as I'm concerned, the OP is still alive and kickin' on another forum. :D
I've sent him a PM on another forum asking him whether he's still interested in this study.

It's the thread (not sophist) that was dead (and has now arisen).

So you think the necromancer saw sophist elsewhere and then......I guess searched their user name on here (surely this thread would have been buried under a ton of more recent threads)? I suppose it's not impossible, although still a bit odd.

I know that you meant the thread, but it doesn't work that way. A thread can still be functioning well even if it's resurrected, unlike a dead person. So I think that as long as the OP of this kind of thread is still around, it's not a big deal. I agree that it's kind of odd, nevertheless.

Excellent

17 1/2 years old

Male

4. Currently diagnosed?

Yes.

5. If you are diagnosed, what’s your precise diagnosis? Asperger’s? HFA? PDD-NOS?

My diagnosis of my autism is PDD-NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified)
First it was severely autistic at 2 1/2 years old (1997) by the speech therapist, then PDD-NOS at 5 1/2 years old (2000) by the Neurologist. I may could be an Aspie because I have HFA, which I'm seemed like having symptoms of Asperger's Syndrome because I have 3 symptoms, Noise Sensitivity, Repetitive Speech, and Poor Social Skills.

6. At what age did you begin speaking? Early (11 months or under), average (12-15 months), late average (16-23 months), or late (24+)?

I started speaking at 5 1/2 years old. (2000)

Yes I did.

(average to well below average)

2. What's your age? 19

3. Are you male or female? Male

4. Currently diagnosed? Yes

5. If you are diagnosed, what’s your precise diagnosis? Asperger’s? HFA? PDD-NOS?

I was first diagnosed with a speech & language disorder by a developmental paediatrician at the age of 3. The paediatrician then suggested that I should be tested for Fragile X syndrome to account for my developmental delays, but the results came back negative. A clinical psychologist diagnosed me with a classical form of Asperger's syndrome when I was 5 years old.

6. At what age did you begin speaking? Early (11 months or under), average (12-15 months), late average (16-23 months), or late (24+)?

Single words at 18 months, followed by communicative phrases (one-sided and pedantic) just before the age of 4 years.

7. Did you have pronounced echolalia as a child? Yes

THE SURVEY

1. Far below average; I have prosopagnosia.

2. 29

3. Biologically female.

4. Yes, diagnosed.

5. Asperger's at first, then PDD-NOS. One doctor called it high-functioning autism.

6. I spoke around 14 months, but the speech was not particularly functional until I learned to read around age 3.5.

7. Occasional echolalia, usually delayed and functional. I had a "library" of things to say.

2) 27-almost 28

3)female


4)diagnose , yes

5)Asperger's and nonverbal learning disorder

6)early

7)well I thought I didn't have echolalia at all but then someone told me that repeating stories that were read to me verbatim - going around reciting them is delayed echolalia- if so then I had pronounced delayed echolalia- but didn't have immediate at all.
