# 3) I suspect is the result of language processing problems.  difficult child used to do it all the time except he was younger. He'd stop mid-sentence and it was evident he'd already formulated the whole thought but it got lost before it got out the mouth.  He'd "stutter" over the sentence, going back and repeating the beginning.  When he was struggling often all it took was for *me* to repeat it for him--as if hearing it helped him to mentally retrieve it.


Interestingly, SSRI medications cleared up the sentence stutter for him.  When we pulled him off due to side effects, he backslid but adjusted fairly quickly afterwards.
