[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The OP already said that her DD has diagnosed expressive/receptive speech delay, so it makes sense that she is asking about the "normalcy" of her DD's behavior, in light of the already-diagnosed SN.

Our 6 y.o. DS has mild Aspergers, and he often interrupts and rambles on about his area of interest.  We have to remind him that when he is trying to have a conversation with others, he needs to say something that relates to the topic already being discussed.  Sometimes that will be his topic of interest, and sometimes it will be a different topic, but he has to make sure what he's saying matches the topic (or, let his friend know that he would like to discuss something else).  Like OP said about her DD, I think this flares up when he's nervous, doesn't know what to say and/or wants to "buy more time" to think through what to say.

Role playing seems to help - that's what our speech therapist does.  She models appropriate conversation and transition skills.  It's just taking a while to sink in![/quote]

This is also normal 6-year old behavior.  Not to take away from what you are doing, but there are NT 10 year olds with this problem.  And adults.[/quote]
