Do you have this problem: When your writing/typing you seem to repeat words? This CONSTANTLY happens to me, I don't if it's just me or all AS kids have it.

For example: Hi, my name is is Neal Zabriski.

Could be. It's common in ADHD, is a symptom of dyslexia and sometimes when I'm really nervous I'll do it. But I can do it without being nervous. I also do do it in speech. That last one was deliberate.

I leave out words just as much, if not more.

Constantly while talking. Occasionally while writing.

Yep, when I was in High School I noticed this when I did work that required me to write.


I do it while typing sometimes as well.

Yes, I do it once in a while. Sometimes I type the word "because" twice in a row because I stop in the middle of writing the sentence to think about what I should write and then go back to writing it. It happens to me with other words too.

My Dyslexia causes me to make all sorts of weird mistakes when writing.

I do that a lot but I thought it was because of my dyslexia & never thought it was an AS thing

Rarely, it's accident more than a rule. But I omit words or confuse them often. Or i read sentence I wrote and then figure out it makes not much sense. Still, it doesn't happen that often that it would cause significant problems. I can't say the same for numbers.

I tend to mix up my words rather than repeating them.

I do that quite a bit too. I also often leave a word out.
