| and their, there, they're, weather(and the other spelling which I can't even recall), thease, these(and I think there might be another but I could be wrong)... I know they have multiple spellings but I go blinde on them. Knowing they have multiple spellings doesn't help me always recall how they should be used or which is the right spelling. Sometimes I quite literally look at a simple enough word and it looks wrong but I know it's probably right but I can't be sure and going to a dictionairy wont help because I can't tell what to type in. ie it has no meaning or proper recall. I tend to think pictorally, in sounds and sensations. Often I can recall pictures, feelings, etc for a word as the word meaning but I don't know the word. This can quite amuse my roommate as I've had to mime things at times, other times draw them and at others describe the word. One time I had a hell of a time simply getting the word gazebo.
FYI here are my language issues:
Memory damage from a stroke.(affects short term memory and things involving actions. It has it's good days and it's bad like all things.
High Functioning Autism(here is a link on adults with aspergers as I couldn't find one on adults with hfa)
CAPD(you might find the sim intresting)
Aphasia and dysnomia.
Also my ability to read language is a fair bit higher than my ability to output language. I know there is a name for the condition but not what that name is.(likely when I have my psycho eds done they'll tell me that tho).
It is also likely suspected I have dyslexia. My brother has reading LD and my sister math LD. My moms brother had severe dyslexia and adhd(and his son profund dyxlexia). In my fathers family there is one case of ADHD, one of marfans syndrome, and also others that may well meet Asperger's Criteria. My own father I believe met HFA criteria like me.(I am autistic) My mom I believe is schizoid and I believe my dads father was Aspergers. My moms mom had symptoms of ADD. |
