"Age you talked vs. walked?"
I'm just curious, did you all learn how to read before you could talk? Or learn how to talk before you could read? Or did you learn how to read and learn how to talk at the same time?
I learned how to read before I learned how to talk. I learned to read at 2 but didn't learn how to talk until 3.
I talked at 18 months but learned to read when I was 4 years old.
My mother told me that I was walking and talking(using sentences) before my first birthday. I recall learning to read sometime when I was 3 years old. Unlike other children on the spectrum, I developed Very rapidly but began to show signs of abnormality when I started nursery school.
learned to read when i was 8, learned to talk at 9.
I learned to talk at two or three years old, learned to read at 5.
I learned to talk at about age 2. I didn't learn to read til I was 6, however (this is really strange) I learned to read literally overnight . Went to bed only able to read and write my own name, and two or three very easy words, woke up the next morning able to read as well as I do now, my understanding limited only by my own vocabulary. I have no idea how it happened. I assume I had been absorbing and subconciously storing the letters, words, ect. in my head for a very long time, and it all just suddenly clicked as I slept. And when I awoke, I just somehow knew I could read, so I ran downstairs, straight to the dictionary, and sure enough...!
I dont remember a time when i couldnt read. I didnt talk till I was four, but I always understood the written language, partly because i had "que cards" in the special ed preschool which had the name of an activity on the card along with a picture.
I learned to talk "on schedule" (no delays) according to my father, and apparently I was already reading a bit when I started kindergarten.
I started talking around the right time but also regressed a little later and had speech therapy up until the age of 8 or 9. Didn't really learn to read till I was 7 ish.
I didn't learn to read before I began primary school, I had begun to learn letters of my dad already but that was pretty much all. I read really slow at first, my handwriting was ofcourse terrible. Big letters looking like they are blowing away in a chaotic storm, still partly readable. I still read a bit slower than most others, and I haven't really learnt read faster after 3rd or 4th degree at primary.
This site is apparently a protest against certain "treatments" of autism, which droopy told me about. The first pages are copied from a site named "getting the word out" while the rest seems to be written by the autie there's pictures of. You get to know that this autie is unable to talk, but she have somehow managed to make this site.

I learned to do both at age 2.

Definitely learned to talk before I read, still speculating with my oldest son whether he knew how to read before he could talk or vice versa. He was non-verbal till 3 years of age but yet he had an intense interest in the alphabet and all.

edit: the word should have been can't in place of can
I was 6 when I was talking correctly and didn't start reading till I was 8. Before it was just rote.
