[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very interesting. My Asperger kid has great expressive and receptive language. His pragmatics are ok. But the real "tell"that sets him apart (as far as speech is concerned) is in his intonation. He tends to speak very flat. We are working on this in speech therapy (through MCPS). Does this ever get better? His facial expressions are also somewhat flat or off.

He also has some emotional regulation issues but is still rather young. I heard flapping eventually goes away... so the intonation issue has really started to catch my attention. Just curious...[/quote]

My kid's intonation is normal not flat.  Facial expression normal.  Did not suspect anything so having the prek teacher tell us there maybe an issue was completely unexpected.  Did not have emotional regulation issues.  Was a very *easy* baby.

Flapped occasionally but not much.  What stood out was running around in circles and jumping up and down but this disappeared completely once he was diagnosed and treated for the ADHD.[/quote]
