[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fwiw my neurotypical 3yo does this. She says she is cold when she means hot[/quote] Exactly - totally typical through the pre-school years, and then increasingly a-typical. I’m the mom of the 16 year old dyslexic above who still says “the other day” when he means either yesterday or tomorrow. He’s told me he does it because when he is speaking the two words - “yesterday” and “tomorrow” sort of hover in his brain and he can’t distinguish which is which. So he uses neither. If you ask him to define “tomorrow” he’ll look at you like you are nuts - of course he can define tomorrow! But for some reason his brain has essentially stored these two words that mean opposite things in the same drawer, and when he reaches for one quickly as he speaks he can’t grab the right one.[/quote]
