Dear Dr. Freemo: I guess 'I think in thought units' and language to me is cumbersome, I am able to rapidly analyze many scenarios, I however lack adequate and sufficient knowledge base to participate in real time effective communications. Neurologists have studied my neurological condition and remain perplexed concerning my failure to pick up natural verbal cues within normal conversations. They put it in basic terms, I am slow at perceiving the world around me, so I normally use what might be considered to be stilted form of communication.
So I do not always immediately get the drift or gist of written statements. School districts held me back, enrolled me in special education classes, I failed American English Grammar, I excelled in Biology, Health, Earth Sciences, Law Classes. It took me many great years to learn how to speak, my school enrolled me in theatrical acting classes. Where I learned to yell out lines of words, I learned how to synchronize my vocal cords with my active mental thought process. So when I meet people who have autism I can Identify with them up to a point, because I have similar problems.
