I did this too at that age. Thanks for your informative post. Is this type of language thing also considered an Asperger trait? Or just Kanner's? |
As far as I know it's considered a strong indicator of ASD/PDD, but I don't know that it points to a specific ASD. There are so many factors that can go into account when a clinician is making a diagnosis. If you had no other speech delays in childhood, then I'd think that you could be considered to have Aspereger's. My son did, so that's why he couldn't be dxed as AS. He also had very little social speech, extreme echolalia, and idiosyncratic speech patterns, ie, he answered most of the doctor's questions with the phrase "buffalo chicken" because that was his echoliac phrase at that time. He was dxed by 2 doctors as PDD-NOS. |

lol. Don't forget Cowboy Bebop and Edward 
yeah ive heard of the idea of autistic people referring to themselves in the third person. It depends on the person, and IIRC isn't it "LFA" people who more do that

I do this when I am talking to myself, and I occasionally, when frustrated with myself, I will call myself by name. I am not DID either, but I experience my mind as having sub entities, or as if my right brain and left brain almost process thoughts separately. However, I never refer to myself in third person to others. |
