How is your language ability?

Post Reply New Topic

I don’t mean social skills I mean language skills?

When you are talking about your interest or with your family?

Are you an Aspergers?

How are your language skills?

Do you know hypnosis?

I have aspergers.

Are we talking about one's mother tongue or other languages? Both? In my mother tongue, I can hold a conversation just fine, but sometimes I mix words and forget to say something that I had planned to ad, plus I stutter a lot when having to explain something, so I'd say my language skills aren't the best. Also, when it comes to speaking English, I haven't had much practice, so I probably spell things the wrong way a lot.

Own language and other languages please?

Mostly own language?

I speak better with my mother tongue.
I read and write better with English.

Average... At best.
Even if I'm bilingual, and can be even more had my choices and circumstances were different.

It's an inherent issue I have around verbal thinking, and therefore directly affecting language/s; comprehension and communication.

Which is a bit ironic to a typical aspie, which usually have better language skills.
I actually don't -- yet for some funny reason, I still pass for Aspergers only because I do not have speech delay.



My usual expressions of special interests are mostly nonverbal. Little bit of theory, a bit of hoarding and more hands on practice.
My family or anyone can only mostly see what my interests are.
I don't ever talk about it much to anyone.


Hypnosis? There are other variations of hypnosis.

If it's about a form of persuasion, I'm too suspicious or apathethic for that.
If it's about focus based daily living activities, I can be either voluntarily for relaxation purposes or involuntarily by being too distracted.

What’s the difference between aspies with language skills in their own language?

I'm ok.
I put a crapload of work in my teens to learn spelling and grammar, because I was ashamed of how bad I was.
I'd say I'm fairly fluent in English too, but the accent is all around the place nowadays.
French, German, and Chinese are so-so, I can get around but I'd like to know more.
I can control myself pretty good when talking about my interests, I sometimes wish that some NTs at work would have a better control of themselves...
Aspergers, yes, or as it is labeled today autism level 1.

Not sure if this qualifies as language ability, I have problems with words in general. This problem gets worse when I'm stressed. When I say words in general, I can look at an object and not know what it is called. An every day object that I may use every day, and not know what it is called. I will start calling out the objects function, what it does, what it looks like, etc.. All in hopes the person that I am talking to can figure it out for me. Names of people can be even worse. Actions/verbs often get substituted with a whistle or sound effect and a hand gesture.

In terms of non-native languages, I speak English, French and Japanese.
I don't need to study to learn a language, I just use a dictionary sometimes to look up words.

Since I don't live in the UK anymore my English has somewhat deteriorated. I took a TOEFL test in 2010 and that came out at 115/120 (no studying, preparation, etc.). In uni I frequently outwrote native speakers in the essay dept.

My French is terrible. Don't ask me about my French.

My Japanese is good enough. I use it all the time at work (nobody speaks English).

I have heard that the way some children speak makes them seem like little Einstein’s?

What are Aspergers good and bad at linguistically???

Verbosity?
Tone?
Pitch?
Syntax?
Vocabulary?
Context?
Language learning at an adult age.
Ect...(!?!)

My language is pretty normal. But my vocabulary isn't that great, as I'm not great at explaining things but not bad enough to notice or affect my communication.

I learned to read early and always had an unusually broad vocabulary for my age growing up. I think this is because I had a lot of experiences growing up where I felt that I was being misunderstood or not believed and I wanted to have exactly the right words available to me to minimise the chances of it happening.

I don't talk much generally, I much prefer to write. This is partly becasue I don't like it when I talk to (at) someone for ages about the garden follies of 19th century financier Whittaker Wright and then I later realise that they most likely couldn't give a crap and I bored them.
