[quote=Anonymous]10:25 here.  My son has an amazing (scary at times!) memory.  When he first started talking he was echolalic - he spoke in scripts that he had heard and memorized.  He'd repeat the same script verbatim (maybe he'll be an actor one day?).  When he was about 3, he started identifying people by connecting them to what brand of car they had or what type of security system sign they had in the yard, and when he was about 5, he'd identify them by their birthday.  (I know, I know, other posters are going to tell me that a lot of people size up others based on such factors - LOL!)  He memorizes calendars, maps, presidents, etc. and is an avid reader.   IMHO, I think he is trying to categorize all this data he's taken in so he can make sense of some of the randomness in the world.  The only trouble is that his communication style itself seems random to others.  I'm getting better at understanding the "behind the scenes" of where he's coming from.  But still, in order to get along in the world he's going to need to understand and conform somewhat to the give-and-take of "normal" conversation.

Like OP, I would love to hear thoughts and ideas from others who have little ones with pragmatic speech issues.  [/quote]
