Better speech when angry?!

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

My son, in his late teens, clearly has development delays (mild to mod MR)

and a severe communication disorder (mild to mod hearing loss,

aphasia/apraxia). He supposively has a syndrome but they have not been able

to name one. Although never formally diagnosed, I believe a lot of it is

due to developmental apraxia. Basically, he knows what he wants to say but

struggles to remember the words and put them in order.

An 'amazing phenomenon' occurs when he gets angry or upset...his speech and

word order just flow 'normally' for a moment. Another words, you don't have

to guess what he's saying ;-) No, he's not cussing, just making himself

clear. I'm curious if anyone else has possibly noticed this with their

child? I wonder if it might have something to do with an adrenaline rush

and where I could find a 'pill'...haha! But I really won't want to

encourage the angry temperament. Seriously, I is just like a window opens

quickly and then slams shut. Has anyone else noticed something similar?
