Last post, then time for beddy-bye
Oct. 18th, 2003 05:31 amI'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?
