I'm told I learned to read when I was three. I don't know, I don't remember this, for all I know I was born reading.

But I wonder how well I spoke before I learned to read. I've found recently that I communicate much better online than in person. It's not just a simple matter of not having to *see* the people to whom I am speaking, I think better typing than talking, it's easier for me when I see my words, and it takes a bit less effort somehow.

More than that, when I speak, I see the words as I say them, I see how they're spelled (or how I think they're spelled). That's one of the reasons I get so upset over misspellings, especially the intentional ones, I really can't read NE as any, or 2 as too, it messes with my head somehow. Sorry for the tangent, I'm just curious, how is it possible for me to have been speaking before I could read if my thoughts are printed (well, not every single word, but that might be why my thoughts sometimes skip out on words, leading to constructions as "bedgo?" for "am I/should I/do I want to going(go) to bed now?" which I won't always even use on aim or when talking, they're too weird). Still, when I'm speaking, I see "the" or "boat" or "presidential" pop up into my head more often than not as I say them, or as someone else says them.

(edit) Actually, my thoughts run more like "connie wondered whether or not to go to bed". It's only when I try to say them that they start coming out very weird. I'm the only person I know, even on the spectrum, who thinks in the third person like that. (end edit)

Jenn? Any answers?

I think of myself in third person quite often. Not all the time... when I'm tired or sick my thoughts are almost always disconnected and fuzzy, tending to come more in pictures than words. I've always thought of the third-person thing as a writers trait. I also make up descriptions and prose about people in public places, when the wordsy part of my head is working properly. When it's not, I just see things in paintings and blurry colours.

I don't mind either and don't think about them often. What I hate and can't handle very well is when I get both at the same time. It can get very disorienting.
