My mom said I was early to walk and talk, and noticed after a few months that I was less responsive than the average child at that age, I think. She also said that others commented on my (lack of) eye contact. :)

I was early to talk but late to walk. I have videos of myself at the age of 2.3 years struggling to walk across the dining room without falling over.
As far as talking, I could speak in full sentences by the age of two, although they may not have been perfectly clear though :lol:
In the videos of myself I noticed that I was not giving eye contact as well and not responding to my mother.

Me too! Early to talk, late to walk...My mom said I skipped the baby talk..one of my first words was "energy"
My mom was concerned a bit with my flimsy motor skills.

I was the total opposite of all of you, thats probably why I got the diagnosis of HFA, I didn't walk until about 2, non-verbal until the age of almost 4!

I too skipped crawling. I just rolled around until I could stand up.
Maintained the usual schedule for the rest of my development, though.

My parents said I was "on the run" early in life and that I talked early, too. I was also very interested in books and reading at an early age.

I had seizures as an infant, so I walked slightly later. On the other hand, once I started talking, I talked a lot. What's unusual is that the seizures stopped when I was about 2, but my brain was already wired to be an Aspie.

I did both early. Don't know exactly when because my parents didn't care to keep baby books or remember those things.

My daughter was speaking very well at two, and now at four she is much like the "little professor" children described by Asperger. It's startling and cute at the same time. She walked the week before her first birthday.

Walk: 9 months
Talk: uh...? I'll ask my mother. I said my first word at 7-8 months ("nana"); 2-3 words at a "normal" age (2-3), my first [odd and grammatically incorrect] sentence [with tongue thrust] when I was 5, which speech therapy fixed -- both of them

I rarely spoke my mother said, I could utter a sentence as the episode at 5 showed the world, I just didn't "talk" up until that point as it took an emotional event to break the "barrier".

Walker rather than a talker. Still am.
