Simon Ellis, 37, was seriously injured in a car smash aged 18 and doctors said he would never walk or talk again.
But he has started speaking and told mum

The UK Govt. will probably send him a letter saying they're cutting off his welfare because he's fit for work now. Seriously, they are signing off people in comas now as fit for work.

This somehow reminds me of the blind North Korean guy. I can imagine her hovering over her son with a sledgehammer, whispering "Now what do you say, Simon?"

The sister of a friend of mine didn't say a word until she was almost 5. Her family and doctors were convinced she was autistic but aside from not talking, she didn't have any other symptoms of autism. One afternoon she walks up to her mom in the kitchen and says "Mommy, may I please have a cookie?" Her mom nearly fainted when she realized who was asking. According to my friend, she hasn't shut up since. :)

She was a selective mute. My wife is a teacher who has taught at least four selective mutes in the past ten years. All of them spoke by the time they graduated her second grade class. I like to think it was her ability to understand their anxiety and isolate the issue to help the kids feel comfortable enough to open up and communicate verbally, but, in truth I know it was just the $100 cash bribe that got them to say, "I like teacher!"

Sometimes when the ELO song

comes on i'll call my dearly departed Mother's old phone number. To this day it rings on, with no answer, no new user, no v.mail, no anwsering machine. It just rings on forever more.

I was that kid, sort of. Mom worried about me as a young child because of several factors. She was studying as a nurse and was a new nurse in that period. She's told me that mothers worry about their children being abnormal, and that was heightened by her being a nursing student and then a new nurse. She recently told me about how she told my sister that she thought I had Asperger's syndrome, and that my sister wrote a paper about me. I almost fell off the couch laughing, as I could recognize symptoms from some previous readings. What was really funny was that my sister got really mad at first for Mom even suggesting it. I was then regaled about a tale of me taking me Thanksgiving turkey heart and hooking it up to a lantern battery to make it contract while yelling, "Clear!"
Some things include being harder to socially interact, a very high IQ, and to your comment about speech Jixa. I never babbled as a baby. It just happened when I was around 3 years old that I went from saying nothing to to talking in complete sentences. It could have been selective mutism, but at that age I wasn't exposed to very many people. Hell, I don't know. Maybe my brain just decided to compile things a little longer.
/Asperger's? Maybe. I don't care much. It's not a crutch or an excuse, its a giggle stick :)
//You know what a high IQ means? Mostly it means I am good at IQ tests, not much else
///My high IQ has not stopped me from making many stupid mistakes in life; intelligence, actual or assumed, is not wisdom
