First Words

Postby norsenerd » Sun Aug 19, 2007 12:29 am

What were your first word(s). Mine has a story but yours need not have one.

My first word was:

HOT

This is how my parents (father) taught me: I was sitting at the table in the morning after my father made coffee. He let the coffee pot cool down to a point that wouldn't hurt me and repeated the word "hot" while brining the coffee pot closer. I reached out for it and retracted when I toughed it and said "hot." To this day when I feel pain I will sometimes say the word "hot" instead of "ow."

I don't remember my first word. Though:

First song I remember hearing: "The Gambler" by Kenny Rogers
First movie: "Watership Down"

I can't recall, however, the first "word" I used was "Yakum". Though not a real word, it was the first term I used to refer to something, namely my dog Dakota.

Apparently I didn't talk much for quite a while. My parents actually thought I was deaf for a while, since I wasn't talking when other people's kids were babbling up a storm. Then one day I just started talking, in full sentences and everything. My parents' say it seemed like I was just saving everything up until I could speak properly.

My first words were "Me too".
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

I believe my first word was "a".

Rather boring.

My first words were "Daddy; Bath now, please."

Do you have an ASD? Just curious because 'delayed speech' and 'when starting talking, talking in complete sentences' are both not uncommon ways that ASDs can effect people at a young age.

I think I can confidently conclude that I do not have ASD.

I don't remember what my first word was. But that story about not talking much sounded a lot like my own. Rumor has it I could read before I could talk.

But, unfortunately, it turned out I did have an ASD, Asperger's syndrome, to be specific. But while it's made my life more of a struggle than it otherwise would be, I managed to overcome it and I'm now a college graduate.

As with other people here, it did take me a while until I was talking. The lesson above aside. And as with at-least one other person here I have been diagnosed with an ASD: Pervasive Developmental Disorder. There is some disagreement amongst medical professionals about weather I have PDD or some other developmental disorder.

I think that the first word I wrote was "Oslo" (as in Norway), which I spelled out on the floor with wall tiles that my dad was putting up.
The first word my brother wrote was "Hershey's", complete with apostrophe, which he copied off a billboard.
The first word my first niece said was "Heyyyy you!!" when she called out to me as I was walking by.
