Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Twice Exceptional Literal Interpretations

I am too, come to think of it. I get really annoyed at DH's vocab mishaps, and I pick apart things he says "THIS is what you said. If you meant THAT, you should have said THAT." (I think DS8 got his language processing disorder from his Dad... in an 8 year old it's tolerable, but in a 47 year old it's kind of frustrating). I'm not perfect either so I try to just let it go, but the literal side of me gets irritated.

I've never had a problem with idioms or expressions of speech though.
