Oddysey:
Semantic pragmatic disorder? A disorder that involves a sensible use of words?
Ah, no, here it is:
# delayed language development
# learning to talk by memorising phrases, instead of putting words together freely
# repeating phrases out of context, especially snippets remembered from television programmes
# muddling up 'I' and 'you'
# problems with understanding questions, particularly questions involving 'how' and 'why'
# difficulty following conversations
To the website! So you can steal the bullet list yourself!
Apparently it's one of those autistic spectrum things. But whoever named it was insane.

Or suffering from aforementioned disorder. ;P
Edit: Oddysey, your link doesn't work.

Copypaste it, don't click, and it works fine.

Jeez. My son is all of the above, and I've never heard that name, before.
Oddysey:
Fixed the link. Hopefully. Works for me now, at least. This is what I get for not sleeping enough the past couple of days . . . ugh.
It looks like the professional definition obsessives (Say, that'd make a good disorder name. It'd cover lawyers AND M.D.s) have decided they want to break up autism into a bunch of modular disorders, each of which comprises a group of behaviors that usually come in packs. So one kid might have behaviors A, B, and C, while another has D, E and F, but they can both be labeled autistic because some kids have B, C, and F or A, C and D. Makes some sense, considering that these researchers are finding that a large variety of behaviors can be linked to similiar physiological causes. I just hope that this will make life easier for people, rather than making this even more complicated than it already is.
Or it could just be that researchers and doctors and such like coming up with new disorders. "Let's see how many pages we can cram into the next edition of the DM-whatever."
