In reply to why can't i verbalize?, posted by ghost on January 6, 2005, at 20:59:08
I think there are many physiological explanations for your "speech" problem.
Also, you might be interested in the following story:
A young couple had 3 kids. The youngest was a 4 year old boy who had never spoken a word. Johnny appeared to be of above average intelligence. The entire family spoke to him, even though he never spoke.
His parents took him to all types of docs and psychs., yet none could tell him why their boy didn't speak. Of course the psychs. came up with all types of bizarre theories on why the boy didn't speak. Several blamed his parents.
One evening, after having been told earlier in the day by an "expert" psych. that they were the reason their boy wouldn't speak, they sat down to eat dinner.
The boy took one bite of his meal, and said: Yuck, this food tastes awful!! His parents were nearly in tears, and his siblings were stunned and amazed: Johnny finally spoke! Mom said: Johnny, why haven't you ever spoken before?"
Johnny replied: "The food was never bad before."
