“Somebody on another thread brought up Asperger’s Syndrome. I wonder.”

Asperger’s kids are usually verbal...sometimes extremely so.
They focus on a subject (numbers, historical event, dinasaurs...etc) and can go on and on about, compiling large amounts of info on their pet subject.

My son’s speech therapist also had an Asperger’s girl as a client - 5 yrs. old.
Her thing was birthdays.
You tell her the day and year you were born...she can instantly and accurately tell you what day of the week it was.
She cannot tell you how old you are - but her brain can somehow figure out what day of the week it was, no matter what year it was.
