[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 500691"] One of the (current) defining differences between Aspies and high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is that Aspie's in particular don't have the early language delay; many are way ahead of their peers in language skills of some stripe, whether vocabulary, speech in general, written language, etc. Ours tend to show up as social expectations are put on us that we can't process, can't handle, etc. Then the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)/anxiety stuff overrides us as we try to cope. I'll take a scientific talk about [I]megalodon[/I] over small talk any day of the week. Gesturing is to some degree natural to me because I was raised by New York Italian, and they can't talk without using their hands, lol. [/QUOTE]
