Over the years, I have come to many counter-intuitive conclusions.
- A person's ability to deal with the input of language does not necessarily equal their ability to output language. In fact, their input ability may be extremely limited even though they are very talented at outputing language.
- A strong ability in one aspect of communications is often associated with a strong weakness in another aspect of communication.
- Very good communicators may have no understanding of what they are actually communicating.
- Extremely early signs of advanced communications skills in children are often an indicator of limited communications potential later in life. The opposite is also often the case.
