Verbally fluent, not conversational (mostly).

Before age 5: nonverbal, nonconversational.

From age 5 to about age 14-15: verbally fluent, not really conversational. One-sided conversations were the norm.

Nowadays, I'm pretty good at conversation.

Through therapy, growing up, and practice.

People would tell me that I'm not conversing properly, and tell me why. I probably didn't seem to "listen" at the time. But the advice was taken in subconsciously, and used later, when I was able to understand better.

I scored 25th percentile in Verbal on my ASD test, but I'm not sure what exactly that encompasses. In real life I don't like talking very much at all. I'm selective mute in many situations and very introverted in the remainder. I despise telephones and avoid them. I've never left a voicemail message in my life.

I do have a few friends I'll talk to in spurts of energy, but it's hard for me to follow what they say unless I'm very interested. My receptive verbal abilities aren't great, I suppose. Likewise I'm not very good following or remembering verbal instructions.

I can be reciprocal but it is very conscious, and very learned.

Mostly verbal, but I lose speech under stress which is fairly common.

Maybe... verbally fluent and conversational, but not exactly fluent at the later part? I don't know.

Verbally fluent, not conversational

Verbally fluent. I was verbally articulate with careful and precise enunciation at or around age two. I'm verbally fluent and I engage in conversation with family (usually with my eyes closed if I'm explaining something) without issue. I can also engage in conversation with strangers, but only for a limited time before I have a desire to walk away.

Verbally fluent and conversational, though I sometimes have trouble with conversation and answering certain questions.

While i am Verbally fluent and conversational, i prefer not to talk to people because they talk about what sports team did what and social stuff like music contest that i don't care about.

Hey, NT - do you want to talk to me? How about a conversation about machine learning and anomaly detection? No? Then piss off.

Normal people are boring.

I'm capable of conversation, but several people have commented specifically that I "don't talk" or something along those lines.
