I keep these around in case anyone asks after the autism-related work on my resume.

  • echolalia (frequent repetition of a sound, word, or phrase)
  • trouble using or understanding pronouns
  • trouble using or understanding sentence (phrase) structures
  • irregular tone (e.g. atonality; use of rising tone ("uptalk") at end of sentences which aren't questions)
  • irregular articulation
  • hard to keep themselves to a certain volume (e.g. hard to use "inside voice")
