I'm not sure this is really in the right place on the forum, but I wasn't really sure where to put it ... so please be patient with me. While I think I might be Aspie, at best it would be a self diagnosis ... so I would like ask the community about an unusual behavior I've always had to see if its something Aspies have because I haven't seen it mentioned in any material I've read ...
One of the things I have always done and continue to do is use made up words and sometimes even speak in whole made up sentences and paragraphs .... but I'm not talking about constructed languages here where the words have been thought out and given definition with meaning and grammer ... I'm talking about just spitting out words and sounds right off the top of my head and they aren't real words or sentences ... its just gibberish ... however, I often end up using the same gibberish words in similar situations ... such as 'sa ba' and 'neh kay' which I often use instead of saying 'crap' or 'damnit' ....
If I let myself, I can sit there and talk entirely in gibberish ... which I will often do with my cats ... since they can't understand english anyway it doesn't really matter ... but speaking in words and sentences that I make up on the spot comes easier to me than speaking in english... and I actually find it very calming and relaxing to speak in gibberish and to even sing in gibberish.
If you've ever played sims 3/4 ... essentially think of it as though I can talk in simlish ... except its not that either ... but kinda ... some of it sounds like simlish actually. People who have heard me speak in it usually think it sounds like either an asian language, hebrew, or slavic ... but its always just sounds put together to make words and sentences off the top of my head based on how they sound and how they make me feel and how they sound rather than definitions and rules.
I use some words and phrases often enough that my wife can understand part of what I say sometimes in gibberish.
If any of that makes any sense to anyone ... let me know. I'm not even sure it makes sense to me. I've been trying to understand it for years. Its something I do... not something I understand.
