Interestingly, my DD used to be one of those "I have no internal monologue" kids--yap yap yap yap--and became much less so. One of the weird things for me when she learned to read was that suddenly, I didn't know where she was at all times (before, you could just follow the sound of her voice). Also, her dictated writing used to be much better than her written writing, but we've seen that change as well. She was a super early talker and appeared somewhat echolalic as a tiny toddler--used huge chunks of "lifted" speech in her dialogue (but not from movies--from what she'd heard us say). Now she writes wonderful original prose.


Minds! So cool.
