  • I did the whispering thing where I repeated what I just said immediately after I said it when I was a kid, too. It used to freak people out... and I don't know how it started or anything so it really bugged me and it was hard to break the habit. It's kinda cool to hear that I'm not the only one who did. XD

  • All kids tend to do the whispering thing. It's perfectly normal. It's the brain's way of telling us that we need to remember something. The whispering thing starts being seen as abnormal when we don't grow out of it. Most aspies never do. With some work, we can internalize some of the doublespeak, but it's not easy.

  • i have aspergers and I do a lot of facial twitching when I talk. My facial expressions and body language don't always match what I'm saying. I repeat stuff too, and my speaking lacks rhythm.

    Look at the videos C.A.R. and Guy With a Cat on his Head. You can hear me talking in the background. Tell me what you think.

  • Sorry it took so long, MondoBeno, been out of town.

    The way you speak in the video is much like I am off camera without a bit of editing.

    The lack of rhythm gets really frustrating when I get into long conversations.

    Those I'm speaking with think the change in pace means I'm finished speaking. I'm often interrupted when I'm in the middle of getting my words across.

    I'm working on not letting the interruptions bother me.

  • You mentioned that people with asperger's "doublespeak", I've never that word before, but that sounds like what I do. Is there a more official name for doublespeaking?

  • I have heard it called 'reverse SWH' or reverse Sapir-Worf hypothesis. SWH basically says that words create behavior. For someone who doublespeaks constantly, w/no reason, it's because the brain is 'digesting' the words. Aspie's aren't the only ones who do so, but it is one thing most of us have in common.

  • People who go public about theire neurological conditions are very brave. You can disagree with what they say, but if you attack them personaly for some small matter with which you disagree, that says something not very nice about you. This is what makes the internet a far less useful tool than it could be.

  • yeah. he's was slightly worse than mine and he was still never the less nothing short of a phenomena

  • @milascave I agree with you about this.

  • Please guys do a bit of research into the link between vaccines and autism.

    Also look up Andrew Wakefield. This man is a saint in my opinion, he was struck off for doing research into the link between vaccines and autism and the big medical industry tried to destroy him because vaccines means BIG MONEY to them and thats all they care about. Not about us. Also I recommend prayer and the healing power of the Holy Spirit - there is NO no infirmity or sickness that cannot be healed by the Lord.

  • @Myasina wow thats weird because my friend matt does that all the time

  • Good video. You have a lot of the traits that my friend with this condition also has, like what you mentioned about the voice fluctuations.

  • and your saying a belt was fair? my son was belted and thrown out of school before he was diagnosed. it took a better school that wasn't narrow minded, ignorant, and had diagnosis and special programs. I feel it is owed to him because i pay taxes and support my country so they owe me. i wasn't as fortunate and suffered. but he is one of the best performing students in his school now and it only took a LITTLE understanding and encouragement. we dont think anyone owes us anything except respect.

  • LOL says the man with a brain as small as his IQ by the sounds of it

  • Yep. There's the that tell-tale AS trait of seeing the world in stark black and white. I'd tell you to ease up, but that would be futile since, neurologically, you cannot.

  • yeah i dunno its all good im bored its fun talkin shit on youtube

  • I'm a girl, and I think you're replying to the wrong comment because I have NO idea what you are talking about, lol. l8tr.
