I just wanted to bump this post from my husband up to the top, since it was hiding in the buffer for a while and may not be seen by some people.

I'm finding the current direction of the thread very interesting, though.

Hi, this is Tom, Elizabeth's DH (at least I hope I'm D :-) ).

Actually, I disagree about his speech fluency. His pronunciation is great. But to me he clearly has a problem getting words out. He will often start trying to say something with a couple of words, and then repeat the first couple of words with pauses many times before he gets the full sentence out. It's like he's trying to gather his thoughts or something and it takes a while. Sometimes it's like he's distracted by other things while trying to make the sentence.

I don't know if that is dyspraxia or not, but I wanted to make the clarification.
