aeh that's very interesting...why do you think speech and language would be an area to investigate? My DS does seem like he has an expressive language disorder, he uses um, gets log jammed a lot when trying to say what he means.. in these situations he often never gets to the point and just says never mind (which makes me sad as I can see he tries to hard to tell you what he's thinking). But my DD doesn't appear to have anything similar to this, and her social skills are really good...
