[QUOTE="Malika, post: 443830, member: 11227"] Hi Ktllc. I recognise some of what you say... trouble is, I have so little knowledge/understanding of neurological issues... though the professionals around me don't seem to have that much more. For a long time, it seemed to me that there was something strange or at least unusual about J's talking and comprehension. It often seemed slightly surreal, nothing to do with what was happening or the conversation around him... what you say about your boy reminds me of this. He seemed rather delayed in comprehension, though I would say both that he is generally bright and that his speech development was normal (ie average). Like your boy, he is also VERY talkative, often chattering away nineteen to the dozen. However, in the past couple of months, this strangeness in his talk (not that iit's without charm or humour) has begun to change... his conversation is much more normal and "on subject". I would therefore say that it is a question, perhaps, of delayed development; I think your son is a bit younger than mine so possibly you will find that he will similarly start to improve as he nears his fifth birthday? You mention Asperger's in relation to your son but I'm certain that J doesn't have Asperger's, so that is a difference. However, I believe there are developmental/brain issues here that probably do not come under one easy label. As I say, I wish I weren't so in the dark about all this... [/QUOTE]
