As a Speech Language Pathologist I understand your difficulties very well. I didn't speak until I was 3 years old either, but I was probably shell shocked as I was born in the middle of two others in diapers and was the 4th child out of 6! Or my mom didn't notice I was talking bc she was so busy with her brood. She did say I spoke in complete sentences once I did "start" talking. But in those days we didn't have the help for kids with problems like they do now.
In spite of your language difficulties you are very good at expressing yourself here in the written word even though you say it takes you a long time. You sound like a wonderful person.
I will pray you will be able to get your life back in order and find a good job. Prayers do work!
In the meantime take the time to check out this website to find a job where your talents can be put to use in spite of your difficulties: There are a number of companies who hire adults like yourself.
Does my theory that I am missing 'hardware' needed to parse human phonemes so I have developed a 'software' solution to compensate, make sense to you?
Btw, when I started to speak it was in complete sentences also, but I misspronounced so many words, my parents had difficulty trying to understand what I was trying to say. For example I would refer to 'milk' as 'guck'.
As for the future, I'm not to concerned. GOD has led me through many trials already.
Anything that makes sense to would make sense to me. Each and every child on the spectrum shares some features but they are all unique individuals. My job was to figure out when they were very young what did make sense to them and to build on that. Whatever you need to make it work for you is what is important.
The mispronunciation sounds may have been you had a form of Dyspraxia (sometimes called Apraxia). It is common in young children. It can make it harder for you to put individual phonemes together to make words. it is an oral motor planning problem.
