I really have no idea... I guess I should ask my mom.
Learned to read at age 2

Learned to walk at age 2 or 3

Learned to talk at age 3
I know it look me quite a while longer than usual to walk, yet my language and speech development was ridiculously fast. As for reading, writing etc, I was a bit slower than usual (but once I did start, I overtook other kids by a mile) - however, I still have a school report where the teacher blames it more on a reluctance to conform than anything else! Big Grin

Hehe, anything to avoid possible accusations of being a rubbish teacher, eh? Wink


Hahah, but I quite like the idea of being a rebel against the establishment at 6! Tongue

Besides, mum also agrees that was most likely the case, given that as soon as I wanted to read and write (...motivated by some daft educational computer game my parents bought me), I was more than able to. Rolleyes Thus began my career as frustratingly stubborn geek.

I said my first words before I was a year old, and learned to walk at about 14 months. So technically one before the other, but I think they just point to my being a little ahead in general. It took me forever to learn to tell left from right, though, and I couldn't reliably catch a ball till midway through my elementary years!

LOL methinks you got suckered into reading by a game - not very rebellious Tongue

Wink


It was a really fun game... Tongue

My older daughter went through a stage (around 4-6 months of age) when she used to make "ninging" sounds when she was a little unhappy.
I was an early walker. 9 months I first walked. My first word was "Dada (Dad)" at 10 or 9 months. I developed quite early.

Me too.  When I was a child I wasn't sure which side was left, and which side was right.

Learned to walk at age 1. Learned to read at age 3. Learned to talk at age 5 or 6.
I dont know much about that time . I only know that I both talked and walked very late.
Talked at 7 months. I developed my speech and vocabulary very quickly, yet had (and still have) a slight speech impediment.
Didn't walk till 18 months, and even now, 24 years later I still have trouble putting one foot in front of the other.
Sorry, mistake. I talked properly (stringing words together to actually mean something) at 10 months. At 7 months I was just making gurgles which resembled words.
It is a very good job that we aren't ballroom dancing partners Noetic!
It would all end in a spectacular tangle of limbs....

Actually, we could use our 'skills' to create a new dance style, the Aspie boogie!

Sorry, this is very off-topic.
Interesting, very interesting. Both of my hips partially dislocate on a more or less daily basis. My jaw dislocates on one side when I chew and my toes are always popping out of place. My knees and elbows both hyper-extend too. I've got so used to popping bones back into place that I forget that it's not something everyone has to do.

I keep learning that more and more things about me could be connected to AS. I'd always known my behaviour was a bit Aspie, but I keep finding out that a whole load of my physical oddities are too!
